Pete Alonso \'Not Particularly Thinking About\' Free Agency 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Wed May 8, 2024 12:21 pm

Pete Alonso is in what could be his final season with the New York Mets.

The first baseman, 29, is hitting .212/.297/.445 with nine home runs in 155 plate appearances this season.

A few weeks ago, Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns admitted Alonso reaching free agency is \"the most likely outcome.\" The two sides have reportedly had talks on an extension over the years.

\"I\'m not particularly thinking about that right now,\" Alonso said.

\"I love the city I play in. I consider myself a New Yorker,\" he added. \"I have a great relationship with guys on the team obviously. And I think I have a great relationship with people in the front office and Steve as well. We\'ll see what happens this winter. It\'s a big question mark. For me, right now, I\'m just focusing on doing what I can to help us win every day.\"

Losing Pete Alonso would be one of the biggest mistakes in Mets history. You don't let guys like that walk.
