Pete Alonso and the Mets will be avoiding arbitration, according to ESPN’s Jeff Passan.
The first baseman and New York have reportedly come to an agreement of a one-year, $7.4 million contract for 2022.
Alonso is arbitration-eligible for the next two years until he is a free agent in 2025.
Alonso’s new contract is quite a boost from his previous three years. As a rookie in 2019, the former Rookie of the Year $555,000 in salary. Then, his salary bumped up to $652,521 the following year and to $676,775 in 2021, according to Spotrac.
