A divorce seems probable after the Mets began moving on last week, with the belief that Alonso will be signing elsewhere. The team has since re-signed Jesse Winker and Thursday officially announced lefty A.J. Minter’s addition to the bullpen. The buzz surrounding Alonso, meanwhile, has been minimal.

With the support of owner Steve Cohen, the Mets stole Juan Soto from the Yankees with a historic 15-year, $765 million deal. He also added pitching depth, signing right-handers Frankie Montas and Clay Holmes to short-term deals, and he poached left-hander A.J. Minter from the Atlanta Braves among other moves.
