Mets' Pete Alonso deal comes with Vladimir Guerrero Jr. intrigue
Feb 06, 2025
The New York Mets' Pete Alonso signed a two-year deal worth $54 million with an option to opt-out in 2025. This means he could leave the team next year. But another player, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., might become available then too. Guerrero is a talented hitter seeking a big contract, possibly around $400-500 million. If Alonso leaves, the Mets might try to sign Guerrero as a replacement. However, there could be a bidding war for Guerrero's services. Alonso, who hit 226 home runs since 2019, had a tough 2024 season but bounced back in the playoffs. Guerrero, on the other hand, had a strong year and could team up with Juan Soto and Francisco Alvarez on the Mets. It's all up in the air for now, but exciting possibilities exist for the team.
