The Mets are the only team to receive the offer, per sources.
According to Jim Duquette, citing ‘league sources,’ Pete Alonso and his agent Scott Boras have offered the Mets a proposal for a three-year contract with opt outs after each year. The deal, reportedly, was offered only to the Mets. The financial details of the proposed contract are unknown at this point.
This report comes just a day after a report from Jon Heyman stated that Alonso was looking for ‘at least’ a six year deal.
While the Giants are still being floated as a potential landing spot for Alonso, a reunion with the Mets always made the most sense for both sides, and a deal like the one suggested by Duquette’s reporting seems like a good compromise. If Alonso has a truly stellar 2025 season, he can test the waters again. If not, he has the security of the deal to fall back on.
Alonso batted .240/.329/.459 in 2024 with 34 home runs, good for an OPS+ of 123. 2024 represented Alonso’s lowest slugging percentage, lowest home run and RBI total, and highest strikeout percentage over a full season of his career.
Alonso’s journey in free agency actually began in the summer of 2023, when he was offered a seven year, $158 million extension that he turned down.
