The New York Mets re-signing Pete Alonso to a two-year, $54 million deal this offseason looks like a genius move right now, given that Alonso is making a case for himself to win the 2025 NL MVP Award. Alonso is currently hitting .295 with a .974 OPS, 17 home runs, and 63 RBIs, and has been a consistent force in the middle of New York’s lineup. It’s hard to imagine what the Mets’ offense would look like if Alonso had ended up signing elsewhere this past winter, which it seemed like he was destined to do at several points. Ultimately, the two sides agreed to a short-term deal that includes a player opt-out after this season, which Alonso is almost guaranteed to exercise.
