Pete Alonso's future with New York Mets uncertain as free agency approaches

Pete Alonso's future with the New York Mets remains uncertain as he explores free agency. The Mets have expressed a desire to keep him, with owner Steve Cohen and general manager David Stearns affirming their commitment to retaining key players. Despite this, MLB expert Ken Rosenthal suggests the Mets may not value Alonso as highly as he and his agent do. Alonso has been a significant contributor, hitting 226 home runs in five seasons, making his potential departure notable. Other teams, including the New York Yankees, are seen as possible destinations for Alonso. The Yankees have financial resources and roster needs, positioning them as a strong alternative for the first baseman.
