On Thursday, Joel Sherman of The New York Post revealed that the Mets offered Alonso a three-year contract in the $68 million-$70 million range. After the four-time All-Star rejected it, they set their sights on adding a top-tier reliever and potentially executing a trade for Toronto Blue Jays slugger Vladimir Guerrero Jr.

Unless Cohen has another Correa moment – which seems doubtful – or Alonso drops his demands precipitously, then one of the best power hitters in Mets history is going to another franchise.

What could the Mets still do to improve this year if they had to move on from Alonso but are limiting themselves to reasonable short-term deals?

“The Mets made what they perceived as a last-ditch effort to sign Pete Alonso by offering him a three-year contract in the $68 million-$70 million range, and when that was rejected, began their pivot away from their slugging first baseman, The Post has learned.”

Despite David Stearns and Mets owner Steve Cohen's words of praise toward Pete Alonso, the destination of the first baseman remains open-ended.

Pete Alonso’s market continues to shrink and now, the New York Mets appear as though they are moving on from their former franchise slugger. The 30-year-old first baseman and his agent, Scott Boras, have misplayed the market.

The New York Mets are linked to free agent slugger Jurickson Profar to replace Pete Alonso, according to Robert Murray. The post Insider Links Mets to Versatile ‘Slugger’ to Replace Pete Alonso appeared first on Heavy Sports.
