In a significant move for the New York Mets, sources have confirmed that first baseman Pete Alonso is set to return to the team on a two-year contract valued at $54 million. This deal not only solidifies Alonso’s position as a cornerstone player for the Mets but also reflects the team’s commitment to maintaining their competitive edge in the MLB. Alonso, a two-time All-Star and the reigning Home Run Derby champion, established himself as a key player during his tenure with the Mets since being drafted in 2016. Those familiar with the negotiations indicate that the team was eager to secure Alonso’s services for the upcoming seasons, especially after losing a considerable amount of talent to free agency. The source close to the situation stated, ‘The Mets recognized Alonso’s importance to the locker room and their overall strategy moving forward.’ With this new contract, Alonso is expected to continue his impressive performance at the plate, having averaged 34 home runs and 100 RBIs over the last three seasons. The Mets organization is hopeful that the positive momentum will lead to greater success in the upcoming seasons. Alonso expressed his excitement in a recent social media post, stating, ‘I’m thrilled to continue wearing the orange and blue. New York is my home, and I’m ready to bring more wins to this incredible city.’ As the franchise navigates through the offseason, the re-signing of Alonso is projected to significantly impact the team’s lineup in the 2025 season.
