Pete Alonso, Alex Bregman couldn’t be more different NY Mets fits if they tried

Aside from Kyle Tucker, Pete Alonso and Alex Bregman will be looked at as the 1A and 1B of position players on the market. While Alonso (or a replacement first baseman) is likely the New York Mets' top priority on the offensive side, Bregman would be an upgrade at the hot corner and makes sense as a worthy alternative.

The similarities between them go beyond where they are ranked on free-agent lists. Alonso is said to be seeking a seven-year deal, while Bregman rejected a six-year, $171.5 million deal from the Detroit Tigers last winter because he wanted more.
