The New York Mets have turned their 2024 campaign around. The blue and orange have won 16 out of their last 22 games to climb within a game of .500 (38-39) and, due to a mediocre National League, find themselves just 1.5 games out of the final wild-card spot.
With the organization now finding themselves back in the playoff race, their trade deadline plans have been altered, and the Mets are now expected to keep their star first baseman.
Time will tell what happens with the man nicknamed the Polar Bear, but Alonso previously said he didn’t want to leave, and the Mets holding onto him for that reason could lead to what the Flushing Faithful have desired for the past couple of seasons: the Polar Bear permanently moving into an igloo at Citi Field.
The 29-year-old is slashing .240/.322/.466 through 77 games with 16 home runs and 43 RBIs.
It’s also thought that some in the Mets front office believe they’ll have a better chance to re-sign Alonso in the offseason if they don’t trade him. Many teams still think the Mets could follow their blueprint from last year’s trade deadline deals of Justin Verlander and Max Scherzer.
