The Juan Soto sweepstakes was the main story for the majority of the Major League Baseball offseason when it kicked off after the World Series concluded.<\/p>\n

After the New York Mets signed Soto to a deal worth $765 million over 15 years, the rest of the free-agent players began to sign with new teams for the 2025 season.<\/p>\n

While most of the big-name players have already signed, there are a select few who remain available.<\/p>\n

One of those players comes from the Mets as their first baseman Pete Alonso is a free agent this offseason.<\/p>\n

Most people likely thought Alonso would end up coming back to the Mets, but that might not be the case anymore, and MLB Insider’s Ken Rosenthal and Will Sammon revealed the latest on Alonso’s market.<\/p>\n

According to Rosenthal and Sammon via B\/R Walk-Off on ‘X,’ the market for Alonso is heating up.<\/p>\n

The market for Pete Alonso is 'heating up,' per @WillSammon<\/a> and @Ken_Rosenthal<\/a> <\/p>\n

It was initially assumed by many that Alonso would remain on the Mets, but the reports now include the Toronto Blue Jays and one other mystery team as being engaged in discussions.<\/p>\n

Alonso played all 162 games for the Mets in 2024 where he batted .240 with 34 home runs, 88 RBIs, and a .788 OPS.<\/p>\n

The known right-handed power threat could provide some much-needed home runs to a Blue Jays team that finished last in the American League East in 2024.<\/p>\n

While the Mets are still in the discussion, the certainty of where Alonso will land has diminished from where it previously was.<\/p>\n

Alonso will be a name to keep an eye on as the MLB offseason progresses before the start of the 2025 season.<\/p>\n
