Pending a physical that figures to be a formality, the Mets have brought back Pete Alonso on a two-year, $54 million deal that includes an opt-out after the 2025 season. With that, the team filled a significant vacancy in its lineup, whether it brought back Alonso himself or found a significant bat to play first or third base.
Over the past two seasons, Alonso ranks fifth in baseball with 80 home runs, and among the 118 qualified hitters in the game over that span, he ranks 35th with a 121 wRC+. With him back in the fold, here’s how the Mets’ lineup might look—with ZiPS projections for wRC+ included.
