The New York Mets experienced yet another agonizing conclusion. The 1986 champions failed to progress to the playoffs, missing out for the fourth time in the last five seasons. Given they spent the highest in the league, Mets’ failure has fueled a lot of questions about their working style. It appears that the NL East team has recognized this and is implementing roster changes as well. But is selling star player Pete Alonso also in the plan?

The Mets traded two of their costliest players on the team in the last trade window in an intent to fix the team and the spending. Thus, many expected Alonso to be traded, which was denied by David Stearns. But the latest move from the first baseman months before his free agency has brought attention to it again. The update has also got reactions from fans, who expect Alonso to change bases in the off-season for a better future.

Pete Alonso BorasCorp Before Entering Free Agency in the Next Winter

The season did not go as Pete Alonso had hoped for. The 28-year-old failed to do well at the plate. Although he scored 46 HRs and 118 RBIs, his average dropped to 0.217. When the team failed to qualify for the postseason, they put a lot of fingers against him. Many even said that Alonso’s done and should be traded.

But the Mets denied it all. Rejecting his trade rumors, David Stearns said, “I fully expect him to be our starting first baseman on Opening Day, and I’m looking forward to getting to know him. I certainly hope that he is a Met for a long time.”

It certainly put an end to the contract discussions. However, Alonso’s latest move to hire an agency run by Scott Boras has restarted them. Given Alonso is expected to enter free agency next year, his contract can be in contention. Though the Mets expect him to stay longer at the club, different teams are eying a star player.

According to reports, the foremost includes the Chicago Cubs, who have been in the race for quite some time. Milwaukee Brewers are also in the race. They look to have his services to change their playoff fate as they exited after losing on a sweep.

However, the New York Yankees are trying to strengthen the offense. Given they have limited options in the farm system and lingering injury concerns, Alonso fits into their requirement. The 27-time champions could be another team that may make a move for him. But it seems fans think otherwise.
