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.

With spring training a month away, reports indicate the New York Mets want slugging first baseman Pete Alonso to agree to a new contract or they will move on.
