Pete Alonso, a four-time All-Star and one of baseball’s premier power hitters, has once again turned down a lucrative offer from an American League contender. With free agency in full swing, Alonso remains one of the most sought-after sluggers on the market, and speculation is mounting about where he will land.
Multiple reports indicate that a top AL team—believed to be aggressively pursuing a big bat—made a strong push for Alonso, offering a deal that many expected him to accept. However, the Mets’ longtime first baseman has declined, keeping the door open for a potential return to Queens.
This latest development has sparked renewed hope among Mets fans that team owner Steve Cohen will step in and make a decisive move, much like he did in the pursuit of Juan Soto. Cohen, known for his willingness to spend big and retain star talent, could once again be the key factor in keeping Alonso in a Mets uniform.
While Alonso has yet to publicly comment on his plans, it’s clear that his market remains strong. If Cohen decides to intervene and make an irresistible offer, the Mets could secure their franchise slugger for the long term. Otherwise, Alonso may still find himself lured away by a team willing to go all-in for his bat.
For now, the baseball world waits to see whether history will repeat itself, with Cohen making a last-minute push to lock in another superstar—this time, one already beloved by the Mets faithful.
