The New York Yankees could be one of the teams pursuing New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso if he declines his qualifying offer and hits free agency, according to Mike Puma of the New York Post.
Alonso was named a Silver Slugger Award finalist after batting .240 with 34 home runs and 88 RBI in 162 games of the 2024 season. He then played a key role in the Mets' run to the NLCS.
The Mets made Alonso a one-year, $21.05 million qualifying offer he is expected to decline.
