On Thursday, Joel Sherman of The New York Post revealed that the Mets offered Alonso a three-year contract in the $68 million-$70 million range. After the four-time All-Star rejected it, they set their sights on adding a top-tier reliever and potentially executing a trade for Toronto Blue Jays slugger Vladimir Guerrero Jr.

Unless Cohen has another Correa moment – which seems doubtful – or Alonso drops his demands precipitously, then one of the best power hitters in Mets history is going to another franchise.

This time, the New York Met’s owner Steve Cohen is in the news! The post “Can’t Do Right by Pete Alonso?”: Steve Cohen’s Mets Slammed for Not Giving Alonso Money He “Earned” appeared first on EssentiallySports.

What could the Mets still do to improve this year if they had to move on from Alonso but are limiting themselves to reasonable short-term deals?

Despite David Stearns and Mets owner Steve Cohen's words of praise toward Pete Alonso, the destination of the first baseman remains open-ended.

The New York Mets still need to figure out their first base situation, and the Baltimore Orioles have a logjam there. A deal could be a win-win for both teams.

Pete Alonso remains unsigned and as spring training approaches, he may end up signing a less lucrative deal and try his luck in free agency again next. If that is the case, a surprise American League team could land him.
