The New York Mets have become four-time All-Star Pete Alonso's top landing spot after the New York Yankees signed five-time Silver Slugger Paul Goldschmidt.
The New York Yankees finally found their replacement for former Chicago Cubs World Series champion Anthony Rizzo at first base on Saturday.Five-time Silver Slugger Paul Goldschmidt signed a one-year, $12.5 million deal with the Yankees, eliminating four-time All-Star Pete Alonso from consideration for the Bronx Bombers.Now that the Yankees have filled their void at first base, the New York Mets have emerged as front runners to re-sign Alonso this offseason.
His projected market value is roughly $242 million over a seven-year deal, according to Spotrac.Despite Mets owner Steven Cohen recently inking superstar outfielder Juan Soto to a record-setting $765 million contract, the multi-billionaire should have no issue outbidding other teams for Alonso.With former Arizona Diamondbacks four-time Gold Glove defender Christian Walker and Goldschmidt off the table, re-signing Alonso seems like the best option for the Mets.
