Breaking Pete Alonso’s deal with expected Mets divorce

Pete Alonso’s home address for the 2025 season remains very much in question following the Mets’ decision to begin moving on from the first baseman.

The Mets, according to sources, believe Alonso will sign elsewhere. The Post’s Joel Sherman reported Thursday that Alonso declined a three-year offer from the team that would have paid between $68 million and $70 million.

In an effort to fill holes on the roster, the Mets are looking elsewhere. The return of Jesse Winker on a one-year contract worth $7.5 million sparked the next wave.

The Mets are also looking to strengthen the bullpen, likely thanks to a still-robust free agent market.

Alonso, 30, is the top power threat in free agency, but his market has dwindled after a surge last month in which several high-profile first basemen joined new teams in a matter of days.

Included was Paul Goldschmidt’s arrival to the Yankees, eliminating a suitor in Alonso who had expressed interest early in the offseason.

Other first basemen traded or signed this offseason include Christian Walker (Astros), Josh Naylor (Diamondbacks), Carlos Santana (Guardians) and Nathaniel Lowe (Nationals).

The Blue Jays were linked to Alonso in a report from The Athletic this week.

The Giants, Mariners and Angels are among the teams that could still be a good fit for Alonso.

The fact that Alonso received a qualifying offer worth $21.05 million from the Mets (which he declined) leaves the team in position to receive compensation for his draft pick if he signs elsewhere .

If Alonso signed with the Blue Jays, the team could move Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to third base. This would give the Blue Jays a top-notch power tandem at least for this season – Guerrero can hit free agency next winter.

The Giants added a big bat with the arrival of Willy Adames on a seven-year contract worth $182 million and could pair him with Alonso, who thrived in Oracle Park’s pitching exhibition with seven home runs in 17 career games.

Alonso could also fit in with the Mariners, who need power but haven’t shown the inclination to spend this winter.

The Angels’ loss of relevance following Shohei Ohtani’s departure last winter and injuries that sidelined Mike Trout could prompt the team to utilize Alonso’s services.
