Pete Alonso’s future with the New York Mets is quite clouded, given that the first baseman is refusing to take a stand on the question of his contract proposed by the team. Despite the fact that Alonso has been one of the favorites of the supporters and a very important part of the Mets’ team, his contract may be demanding and that may force the team to choose between good or bad.
In the year 2023, Alonso gave up a solid $158 million deal from the Mets. As things stand in 2025, even though the Mets have shown their complete willingness to negotiate, the Polar Bear is still demanding a large sum of money. Alonso, who is represented by top-agent Scott Boras, is allegedly requesting a contract extension worth $200 million which in itself is an unacquainted promise of creating a buzz throughout the baseball fraternity. Conversely, the Mets cannot do that, even if they are backed up by the billionaire owner Cohen
New reports indicate the Mets tried again to lock down Alonso’s future. They offered a three-year contract worth $68-70 million. But Alonso turned this down too, according to New York Post writer Joel Sherman. This has split the fans. Some back the homegrown star, while others question what he wants after his performance dropped last season.
Sports radio host Jake Brown doesn’t just talk about Alonso’s play; he also brings up the Mets’ changing situation. The team got Juan Soto and made big roster changes spending almost $919 million this off-season. This might mean the Mets care less about keeping Alonso.
