The Mets President officially declared his club will trade a $20 million three-time all-star to the AL West before the upcoming offseason.

The New York Mets officially announce their team are paying Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander their salaries.
However, they will also need to make a decision in 2025 over whether to give homegrown powerhouse Pete Alonso a new contract, allow him to enter free agency, or transfer him before the 2024 deadline in order to recover some value. Erec Kara ball, who wrote “bold Predictions for NL teams” for the ESPN.com fantasy baseball section, projected that the Mets would choose the latter option and trade Alonso to an AL West rival.

But first baseman Pete Alonso? Kara ball enquired. “In July, he is traded to the Seattle Mariners.”

Mark Vientos, a 24-year-old designated hitter and third baseman in Kara ball’s hypothetical team, moves to first base and “becomes the new Alonso.” Francisco Alvarez, the catcher, contributes to the offense in part by hitting a “team-leading 31 homers.”

In order to avoid arbitration, three-time All Star Alonso inked a $20.5 million deal with the Mets before the beginning of the season.

Why Pete Alonso Could Be Traded by the New York Mets
By the end of the following season, there’s a good chance Alonso will be leaving New York. Since Alonso is the kind of player that the Mets’ head of baseball operations, David Stearns, has a history of being reluctant to extend contracts, Stearns might look for something in return before allowing Alonso to sign a free agent contract.
