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.

"It has been a staredown...with the Mets and Pete," Duquette said, as shared by Grant Young of Sports Illustrated. "Because there's some uncertainty that there are a lot of suitors for him right now. A lot of the first base options are closed."

It sounds like the New York Mets aren't going to have Pete Alonso for the 2025 season but there has been reports about possible replacements.
