Uncertain contract situation hangs over Mets slugger Pete Alonso's head as he arrives at spring training

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- Pete Alonso, like many of the New York Met position players, showed up to camp Saturday, but unlike those players, Alonso has a huge but uncertain contract situation hanging over his head.

Mets general manager David Stearns has said a long-term deal will not likely be reached before Alonso hits free agency after the season. Of course, that was the topic of conversation during his press conference.

"I think we have a really good team. I'm super excited to get this spring training underway. I mean, we have a great group, and I'm really excited.
