New York Mets in Contract Talks with Pete Alonso for 2024 Free Agency
New York Mets owner Steve Cohen has revealed that ongoing discussions are taking place concerning a potential reunion with free-agent power hitter Pete Alonso. The revelation came following Juan Soto’s introductory press conference at Citi Field, where Cohen expressed his desire for Alonso to remain with the team.
Alonso’s agent, Scott Boras, confirmed that Alonso is exploring other options in the free-agent market while engaging in talks with multiple teams. Despite Soto signing with the Mets, Alonso remains a coveted offensive player in the free-agent pool.
Cohen emphasized the importance of allowing Alonso the opportunity to assess his market value before reaching a final decision. The Mets’ ownership and management have expressed their intention to bring Alonso back into the fold, despite previous contract extension negotiations falling through.
Bringing back Alonso would not only solidify the Mets’ lineup with a proven talent but also add to the team’s offensive prowess. With Alonso closing in on the franchise home run record and a potential spot in the heart of the batting order, the Mets’ offense could become a formidable force in the upcoming season.
The possibility of reuniting with Alonso has Mets fans eagerly anticipating the team’s next move in the offseason. The impact of Alonso’s return on the team’s lineup and overall performance is a topic of much discussion among baseball enthusiasts and analysts.
As the negotiations continue, Mets supporters are hopeful that Alonso will remain a cornerstone of the team’s roster for the foreseeable future. Stay tuned for more updates on Pete Alonso and the Mets on AMNY.com.
