Pete Alonso and the New York Mets are nearing a reunion in free agency, but a disagreement over contract length is delaying the process. While Alonso seeks a long-term deal, the Mets prefer a shorter-term contract with higher annual value.
Pete Alonso and the New York Mets appear to be headed for a reunion in free agency , but there's a snag: contract negotiations . FanSided's MLB insider Robert Murray sheds light on the situation, revealing that the primary point of contention is the contract's length. While Alonso desires a long-term deal, the Mets have been hesitant to commit, instead proposing a shorter-term contract with a higher annual value.
Murray suggests a potential solution: a short-term deal with an opt-out clause after the first season, a tactic Alonso's agent, Scott Boras, has successfully employed in the past. This impasse has inadvertently given other teams, including the Seattle Mariners, San Francisco Giants, Los Angeles Angels, and others, the opportunity to join the bidding for Alonso's services. If one of these teams is willing to offer Alonso the long-term contract he seeks, the Mets risk losing their star player in 2025. Despite the ongoing disagreements, Murray remains optimistic about the Mets' chances of retaining Alonso, given their closeness to an agreement
