Pete Alonso, the New York Mets slugger, is facing difficulties in the free agent market. Despite initial interest from several teams, Alonso's asking price, reportedly aligning with Prince Fielder's 2012 contract, has proven to be a roadblock. Experts predict Alonso will ultimately return to the Mets on a short-term deal with opt-out clauses, potentially for a lower amount than he seeks.
Free agent New York Mets slugger Pete Alonso has seen his first foray into the open market fall flat, at least so far, with 34 days remaining until the opening of spring training. Several teams that were initially reported to be interested in the former National League Rookie of the Year looked elsewhere to fill their first base needs, and Alonso as a consequence saw his available options winnow down to almost nothing.Teams are believed to have an issue with Alonso's asking price as well.
Alonso obviously rejected that offer and continues to follow Boras's lead and chase a long-term deal.The Yankees blog Bleeding Yankee Blue also examined the Alonso situation on Wednesday and arrived at the same prediction: Alonso back to the Mets for few years and low money.
