SHOCKING:Pete Alonso Turns Down $21.05M Deal offer due to….
The New York Mets had a memorable season in 2023. They were among the spring training hopefuls to compete for a World Series after their 101 victories the previous season, but they did not even make it.500. Despite having the biggest payroll in North American sports history—nearly $350 million—the Mets’ 74-87 record prevented them from qualifying for the postseason.
At the trade deadline, they went into sell mode, and they may not be done selling yet.
Although former Met Tommy Pham lauded Alonso’s work ethic and attacked others, there have been rumors that Pete Alonso may be on the trade block and that he has contributed to the problems in the clubhouse.
Although they most likely were not even expected to compete, the Cubs just missed out on the postseason this year. They apparently want to pursue Alonso since they were close. The “mumbling” in the Windy City is that “the Cubs are going to try everything they can to trade for Pete Alonso from the Mets,” according to veteran Chicago baseball reporter Bruce Levine on 670 The Score in Chicago.
“He discovered that the Cubs do not have a first baseman who is ready to rock and roll after surveying the major market’s competing teams.” Rogers uttered those words. “I believe he is as eager to come here as they are.” It makes sense that David Stearns, the new president of baseball operations, stated that he “expects” Alonso to be the first baseman on Opening Day.
Alonso’s 192 home runs since joining the league in 2019 are the highest in the majors during that time. He has hit 37 or more home runs in every complete season that he has played. At the end of the upcoming season, the slugger will be eligible for free agency.
