Mets Rumors: 'Strong Expectation' Pete Alonso Returns in 2024 amid Trade Buzz
Trade rumors have swirled around New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso, but it appears that the team plans to have him aboard next season.
SNY's Andy Martino reported the following on Thursday: "I'm not in the business of predicting the future, but can tell you this: The Mets' strong expectation today is that Pete Alonso will be on the team in 2024.
"Over the past few weeks, as Alonso trade rumors have congealed into a perception of near inevitability, the reaction among Mets executives can be best summarized by two words: Surprised and confused.
"While not ruling out the chance of the proverbial being 'blown away' by an offer this winter, the team does not plan to actively shop Alonso."
