MLB Rumors: 'Teams Hesitant' to Offer Pete Alonso a Long-Term Contract amid Mets FA

Star slugger Pete Alonso is one of the best power hitters remaining on the open market, but teams across MLB aren't in a rush to sign him.

ESPN's Jeff Passan explained the delay in Alonso's free agency, reporting, "Teams are hesitant to give him a long-term deal."

After starring at first base for the New York Mets for the past six years, Alonso established himself as one of the most consistent long-ball hitters in the majors with an average of 42 home runs and 110 RBIs in his five full big league seasons, per Passan.
