The contract negotiations between Pete Alonso and the New York Mets appear to have hit an additional rough patch.
At the organization's "Amazin' Day," owner Steve Cohen said that he doesn't like "the structure of the offer" that Alonso's camp has put forward in contract negotiations. In response to these claims, Alonso's agent Scott Boras defended the structure and said that it falls under "established fairness standards."
"Pete's free-agent contract structure request are identical to the standards and practices of other clubs who have signed similarly situated qualifying-offer/all-star level players," Boras said, per Will Sammon of The Athletic.
