Mets loom large as potential suitor for top free agent next offseason

The New York Mets have never been shy about making big moves, and this offseason was no exception. They reeled in superstar outfielder Juan Soto, adding yet another powerful bat to their lineup. But even with this major acquisition, the front office has been juggling several key roster decisions, including one that could have long-term implications at first base.

Pete Alonso has been a cornerstone for the Mets, mashing home runs and providing a consistent offensive force at first base. However, his future with the team remains uncertain. Alonso can opt out of his deal after the World Series, potentially leaving the Mets with a glaring hole at first.
