There is a real chance the New York Mets may lose franchise home run leader Pete Alonso in free agency this offseason. If he leaves, the Mets will have to look for someone, not just to play first base, but to replace his power output. The Polar Bear slugged 38 home runs, marking the fifth time in six seasons he’s gone yard 35+ times (not including 2020). Many fans want the Mets to go after Kyle Schwarber for designated hitter and steal him away from the Philadelphia Phillies. However, an alternative that shouldn’t be overlooked is another top free agent slugger, veteran third baseman Eugenio Suarez.
