Mets aim to bolster lineup by re-signing Pete Alonso to protect Juan Soto

newsweek.com — December 18, 2024, 04:01 PM UTC

The New York Mets have signed outfielder Juan Soto to a $765 million deal, aiming to strengthen their offense. They are considering re-signing first baseman Pete Alonso to protect Soto in the lineup. Alonso, a top slugger, has hit 226 home runs since 2019. The Mets' management has expressed interest in keeping him, but other teams are also looking for a first baseman. Predictions suggest Alonso could sign a six-year deal worth around $159 million with the Mets. This would keep him in New York, where he has been a key player.
