This time last year, Pete Alonso's eyes were wide with possibilities. The New York Mets' slugger was dreaming of big dollars despite coming off arguably the worst season of his career. Forced to accept this uncomfortable reality, he answered the bell in 2025 and put up a vintage performance.
Now he'll have the opportunity to seek out his dream deal once more, and this time he'll be coming in with a much stronger position. Despite this, there's a very high likelihood that he's met with a chilly market again.
Seems impossible, right? Unfortunately for Pete, factors beyond his control will be working against him.
