New York Mets star Pete Alonso may be on the Yankees radar if they lose Juan Soto in free agency this offseason.
After being acquired in a blockbuster trade with the San Diego Padres in December of 2023, Juan Soto will become a free agent for the first time in his career this winter.
Soto, who just turned 26, is expected to become one of the league's highest-paid players this offseason as he's coming off an excellent first season in The Bronx. In 157 games played during the regular season, Soto slugged a career-high 41 home runs with 109 RBIs and slashed .288/.419/.569 with an OPS of .988.
"Should the Yankees be unable to make good on their '"top priority" and re-sign superstar free agent Juan Soto, one backup plan involves Mets slugging star Pete Alonso plus pitching stars, perhaps former Cy Young winners Corbin Burnes or Blake Snell," Heyman wrote. The Yankees' future at first base is uncertain with Anthony Rizzo having a $17 million club option and $6 million buyout. A move for Alonso would make sense given their need at the position.
