Slugger leaves in first inning Wednesday vs. Dodgers following James Paxton 93 mph fastball
Alonso was hit by a James Paxton pitch on the right hand with one out in the bottom of the first inning. He immediately walked back to the dugout with manager Carlos Mendoza and a trainer after a Paxton fastball registering at 93 miles-per-hour clipped his fingers.Mets PR confirms imaging will be done on Alonso’s right hand following his exit from the game. The team made no further announcements or updates.
The 29-year old first baseman, who turns 30 in December, signed a one-year, $20.5 million contract in January to avoid arbitration. Alonso contract extension discussions have been one of the prevailing storylines for the Mets this season. The two sides reportedly remain apart in regard to term length, and the 2019 National League Rookie of the Year and three-time All-Star selection would become an unrestricted free agent in the fall if general manager David Stearns and the two sides fail to agree on a potential extension. Alonso reportedly rejected a seven-year contract extension last June.
Pete Alonso was offered the contact extension BEFORE the trade deadline last year, for those of you saying Boras was the one who rejected the contact, well here you go lol. Pete hired Boras AFTER the 2023 season and AFTER he rejected the extensionLosing Alonso was another injury blow after New York placed closer Edwin Diaz on the 15-day injured list prior to the start of the game Wednesday vs. Los Angeles.
