Should the New York Mets spend the money they were going to use on Pete Alonso to nab another All-Star slugger?

There has been zero movement since former Mets general manager Jim Duquette reported that Alonso’s camp reached out to the Mets with an offer to re-sign him last Friday. With the Mets fearing losing available players, like top free agent reliever Tanner Scott, they now seemed to have moved on from Alonso.

As the MLB offseason continues, the Mets, led by owner Steve Cohen, appear to be pivoting, with free agent Pete Alonso likely not returning.

With time running out on negotiations between the Mets and first baseman Pete Alonso, another big-name slugger was floated as a possibility to occupy first in Queens.
