The Boston Red Sox have emerged as a contender for free-agent slugger Pete Alonso, adding another team to the mix alongside the Toronto Blue Jays and the New York Mets. Alonso's market is clarifying, but the slugger's high contract demands remain a challenge.
The New York Mets are considered the favorites to re-sign free-agent slugger Pete Alonso this winter. Alonso is reportedly seeking a contract exceeding $150 million, but it remains uncertain if any team will meet his demands. While his market is becoming more defined, there are more teams vying for his services than initially anticipated. According to Bob Nightengale of USA Today, eight teams, including the Toronto Blue Jays and Boston Red Sox , have expressed interest in Alonso.
However, despite the competition, Alonso may have to return to the Mets on a short-term deal with an opt-out clause. Free agency deals often remain unpredictable until the final moment, as exemplified by Corbin Burnes' surprise signing with the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Red Sox's late entry into the Alonso sweepstakes adds an unexpected twist. Boston has been linked to Nolan Arenado and Alex Bregman to potentially shift Rafael Devers to first base. The Red Sox could pursue Alonso, maintain Devers at third base, and create a rotation with Alonso and Triston Casas at first base and designated hitter.
