Mets Could Reportedly Go Against This Philosophy For Pete Alonso in Free Agency

The New York Mets could reportedly wind up making this exception for Pete Alonso in free agency.

Franchise cornerstone first baseman Pete Alonso is set to become a free agent this winter, and the question remains whether he will stay in Queens for the foreseeable future or depart for another team.

"Mets president David Stearns is viewed as preferring long-term deals for free agents in their mid 20s but many believe this may be one case where Steve Cohen defers to fans," Heyman wrote. Alonso is having a down year for his standards in his contract season, slashing .247/.335/.471 with a .806 OPS, 27 home runs and 70 RBIs in 128 games. He has also struggled with runners in scoring position, but has brought his numbers in this area up a bit to .218/.345/.395 with a .740 OPS.
