Pete Alonso Has Reportedly Been on Trade Market Over Last Week, Mets ‘Price Points Are High’

I have no idea what it would take to get him, but one player would instantly fill the Cubs’ need for power and an everyday first baseman is Pete Alonso. According to Will Sammon and Tim Britton of The Athletic, the Mets slugger has been on the trade market over the last week. The Mets have already moved Max Scherzer to the Rangers and are fielding offers for Justin Verlander, and their “price points are high” according to GM Billy Eppler. Alonso, who has 30 homers and is controllable via arbitration through next season, will certainly fetch a big return if he’s dealt.
