Before we dive into what will be an uncertain year for Pete Alonso and the Mets, let’s take a moment to acknowledge how special Alonso’s tenure has been for the organization. The Mets have been a pitching-dominant franchise since their inception, making Alonso something of a unicorn for them. Sure, they’ve had home run hitters in the past, but none who have made the long ball the central tenant of their game, and have not just excelled at it, but made it an art. That ability to hit majestic home runs seemingly at will has made Alonso one of the faces of the sport, and it’s easy to take for granted that he plays for the Mets.
