Player Outlook
Pete Alonso is a well-established asset in real baseball and fantasy baseball at this point. Amidst trade rumors, Alonso hit 46 home runs in 2023, third in MLB behind only Matt Olson (54) and Kyle Schwarber (47), and drove in 118 (second behind Olson). His batting average plummeted to a career-low .217, but most of that was BABIP-driven (.205 BABIP, .244 xBA). Alonso hit the ball hard and cleared 150 games played for the fourth time in as many full seasons -- slugging carries his game, but Alonso deserves credit for that durability as well. He's been at least 20 percent better than league average by wRC+ in every season of his career. His defensive and baserunning limitations ding him in real life, but Alonso is a counting-stat machine and should enjoy some positive regression in the BA department.

  • Mets' Pete Alonso: Extension not expected

    Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns indicated in an interview with Foul Territory on Wednesday that he does not expect to sign Alonso to a contract extension prior to the first baseman reaching free agency next offseason. Stearns did say that he's hopeful the two sides will eventually be able to work something out, but it doesn't sound like either party anticipates that happening before the end of the season. Alonso, for what it's worth, hired Scott Boras as his agent earlier this offseason. The 29-year-old slugger will make $20.5 million in 2024 before hitting the open market next winter.

  • Mets' Pete Alonso: Avoids arbitration with Mets

    Alonso signed a one-year, $20.5 million contract with the Mets on Thursday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports. Alonso is in the final year of arbitration eligibility and saw his salary jump $6 million from 2023. He's proven to be one of the most consistent power producers across five full seasons in the majors, reaching 40 homers in each of the last two campaigns and three times overall. Assuming he and the Mets don't agree to an extension, Alonso will hit free agency next offseason.

  • Mets' Pete Alonso: Hires Boras as agent

    Alonso has hired BorasCorp agency to represent him, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports. Alonso has one year remaining of arbitration eligibility before free agency and has decided to add Scott Boras as his new representation as he seeks a long-term contract. The first baseman's name has popped up in trade rumors this year but, for what it's worth, new Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns has indicated that he has no intention of dealing Alonso this offseason. Whether Stearns and Boras can get on the same page in regard to a contract extension for Alonso is another matter.

    Alonso has passed concussion protocol after being hit in the head/neck area by a pitch in Saturday's loss to the Angels, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. Alonso was plunked by a wild breaking ball from Halos reliever Jose Soriano in the eighth inning and was removed from the game for a pinch runner.

  • Mets' Pete Alonso: Leaves following HBP to head

    Alonso was lifted from Saturday's game versus the Angels in the eighth inning after being hit in the back of the head by a pitch, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

The slugger seemed to be OK as he got up quickly and walked to first base, but the Mets opted to play things cautiously and remove him. Alonso is likely set to go through concussion testing.

    Alonso went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals. The slugging first baseman took Dakota Hudson deep in the fourth inning, Alonso's fourth homer in the last five games and his 39th of the year. He's been flexing his muscles in August, slashing .254/.376/.690 through 20 games with nine long balls and 19 RBI as he closes in on his third career 40-homer campaign.

    Alonso went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run, two walks and a stolen base in a 4-3 victory versus the Cubs on Wednesday.

It was his third straight game with a homer and pushed his season total to 35, third-most in the majors.

  • Mets' Pete Alonso: Another two-homer night

After launching two homers against the Yankees on Tuesday, Alonso repeated the feat against a division rival, taking MacKenzie Gore deep in the fifth inning for a three-run shot before driving a Rico Garcia fastball over the wall in center field for two more runs in the seventh. Alonso's bat may have woken up too late to salvage the season for the Mets, but over his last eight games he's batting .400 (12-for-30) with seven extra-base hits (two doubles, a triple and four homers) and 11 RBI.

If the Mets are looking for excuses not to blow up the roster at the trade deadline, a return to form for Alonso could provide them with one.
