The Mets, according to sources, are of the belief Alonso will sign elsewhere. The Post’s Joel Sherman reported on Thursday that Alonso declined a three-year offer from the team that would have paid in the $68 to $70 million range.

Alonso fits nicely with Juan Soto and proved and proved at the end of last season he can still hit at a high level.

At the start of free agency, most MLB insiders thought Pete Alonso would strike a deal with the New York Mets. The latest report, however, strongly suggests that both sides are ready to go their separate ways.
