The long-term status of Pete Alonso as a member of the New York Mets figures to be one of the burning questions surrounding the team and thanks to an update from the New York Post's Jon Heyman, there is a bit of clarity as far as where things stand as of this time.
Heyman reported, "It doesn't feel like there's momentum toward a quick deal for Pete Alonso, so the Mets' best hope to make the homegrown slugging star a lifetime Met probably comes when he's a free agent next winter."
It would seem as though the appropriate approach would be to get something done as soon as possible so as not to hurt feelings or give the impression that the team would be OK with moving on from Alonso, but new President of Baseball Operations David Stearns does not appear ready to take that approach.
