As we dive into the offseason, the situation surrounding Pete Alonso is becoming increasingly intriguing. With the market for first basemen rapidly shrinking, Alonso finds himself in a precarious position. The Astros, Yankees, and Diamondbacks have all made significant moves, leaving Alonso as one of the last big names still unsigned.
This raises some compelling questions: Is Alonso's value being underestimated, or are teams wary of committing to a player who has had a solid but not spectacular season? With a projected six-year deal worth over $170 million, can teams justify that investment, especially when they have other needs to address?
Let’s not forget that Alonso has been a powerhouse since his debut, consistently hitting over 30 home runs each season (except for the pandemic-shortened year). His ability to produce runs could be a game-changer for any lineup, particularly for the Mets, who seem eager to retain him.
What do you think? Should the Mets prioritize bringing Alonso back, or is it time to explore other options? If you were a GM, would you take the plunge on Alonso, or would you be hesitant given the current market dynamics?
And here’s a bold prediction: If Alonso remains unsigned much longer, could we see a surprising team swoop in and make a play for him, potentially changing the landscape of the upcoming season?
Let’s hear your thoughts! What’s your take on Alonso’s situation, and where do you think he’ll end up?
