The New York Mets are still in contact with free-agent slugger Pete Alonso regarding a return to the organization, according to team owner Steve Cohen.
"We think he's a great Met and we're still engaged," Cohen said on Thursday, per Newsday's Tim Healey. "We hope he stays as a Met. ... He's entitled to go out, test his market and see what it is. Hopefully we'll get there."
New York appears to be turning its attention towards re-signing the first baseman after handing superstar Juan Soto a massive 15-year, $765 million contract on Sunday.
