PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- New York Mets owner Steve Cohen doesn't expect to sign a long-term contract with star first baseman Pete Alonso before the end of the season.
Alonso has a $20.5 million, one-year contract and can become a free agent after the World Series.
"We haven't had any discussion and I think at this point, for Pete, it's best for him to go and have a great year and not be distracted," Cohen said Sunday at Mets spring training camp.
Alonso, who turns 30 in December, was the 2019 NL Rookie of the Year and is a three-time All-Star.
