The Mets and Pete Alonso have agreed on a two-year deal to see the slugging first baseman return to the club. The deal, reportedly worth $54 million according to Jeff Passan of ESPN, will see Alonso make $30 million in 2025 and can opt out after the season. The contract is pending a physical.
With just a week until pitchers and catchers report for spring training, this move bolsters the Mets lineup for 2025 without wasting resources or years on what many believe will be Alonso’s decline.
Alonso, who broke camp with the club in 2019, hit 53 home runs as a rookie and has notched 226 thus far, third best all time for the Mets.
