Here we are on January 13, with pitchers and catchers reporting to spring training in less than a month, and Pete Alonso still doesn’t have a contract.
It’s not what the slugging first baseman expected from his market. Alonso, 30, hit .240 with 34 home runs and a 122 wRC+ in 2024, though his .788 OPS dipped from ’23’s mark of .821. In his six MLB seasons, all with the New York Mets, Alonso is a .249 hitter with 226 home runs. He was the 2019 Rookie of the Year and set an MLB rookie record with 53 home runs.
