The New York Mets reportedly engaged with slugger Pete Alonso regarding a long-term contract extension in June 2023.
According to Joel Sherman of the New York Post, the Mets made an offer through Alonso's agency for seven years and $158 million. Sherman noted that the contract was influenced by Atlanta Braves first baseman Matt Olson, who signed an eight-year deal worth $168 million to stay with the team prior to the 2022 season.
However, an agreement was not reached and Alonso remains slated to hit unrestricted free agency in 2025.
