Mets re-signing Pete Alonso may boost chances of landing Juan Soto

sportingnews.com — December 5, 2024 at 01:01 AM UTC

The New York Mets are pursuing Juan Soto, and recent reports suggest that re-signing Pete Alonso could improve their chances. MLB Insider Jon Heyman noted that Alonso's presence might make the Mets more appealing to Soto. The bidding for Soto has reportedly exceeded $600 million. While signing Alonso first may seem counterproductive, it could enhance the Mets' attractiveness to Soto, who is expected to make a decision soon. Alonso is projected to sign a six-year deal worth $174 million. Both players share the same agent, and keeping Alonso could influence Soto's view of the Mets as a strong team.
