Sat Mar 908:39Pete Alonso Homers On Friday
New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso blasted his second home run of the spring on Friday in a 3-1 Grapefruit League victory over the Miami Marlins. It was the only hit of the day for the 3x All-Star, going 1-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored. The two-time HR Derby champ is now 6-for-19 (.316) in Grapefruit League action with all six of his hits going for extra bases. Alonso has two home runs and four doubles to go along with three walks (.409 OBP), two RBI, and three runs scored. Looks like the former second-round draft pick will have another productive season at the plate and will justify his ADP of 27 overall.

Thu Feb 812:03Mets, Pete Alonso Not Expected To Reach Extension
New York Mets All-Star first baseman Pete Alonso is set to become an unrestricted free agent after the 2024 season and there has been no sign that a contract extension will be agreed upon before then. The Mets say they are "invested" in keeping Alonso around, but it's looking unlikely that a deal will be reached before he tests the free-agent market. "The best thing for us is for Pete to have a great year and the best thing for Pete is to have a great year, and we'll go forward from there. We're certainly invested in keeping Pete a Met and I'm hopeful, over time, we'll be able to work that out," president of baseball operations David Stearns said. The 29-year-old Alonso hired agent Scott Boras this offseason, essentially assuring he'll play out the 2024 season and reach the open market next winter. Contract issues aside, Alonso is an elite power hitter for fantasy managers after slugging 46 homers and driving in 118 in 2023.

Thu Jan 1121:15Pete Alonso, Mets Avoid Arbitration
First baseman Pete Alonso and the New York Mets avoided salary arbitration on Thursday by agreeing to a one-year, $20.5 million deal for the 2024 season, according to a source familiar with the deal. Alonso is fully expected to hit free agency following the conclusion of the 2024 campaign, especially after he hired agent Scott Boras this offseason. The 29-year-old right-handed slugger is an elite power target for fantasy managers, having reached the 40-homer mark in the last two seasons. He's also been pretty durable and should rebound in the batting-average department this year after hitting a career-low .217 this past season. In addition to his 46 home runs in 2023, Alonso delivered great counting stats for his fantasy managers with 118 RBI and 92 runs scored.

Wed Jan 1020:59Mutual Interest For Pete Alonso To Finish His Career With Mets
The New York Mets' new front office has indicated a desire for first baseman Pete Alonso to finish out his career with the team, and Alonso has told teammates that his preference is to spend the rest of his career with the Mets. However, his agent, Scott Boras, has a long history of taking his clients to free agency when they get this close (next winter for Alonso) because that's usually where they'll land the best deal. The Mets have listened when teams have called about him, but they've never seriously considered trading him -- at least not yet. New York could re-evaluate the situation with Alonso at the trade deadline this summer, but the most likely outcome is they'll keep him through the 2024 season and then be willing to match the best offer he gets on the open market. The 29-year-old slugger had a career-low .217 batting average in 2023, but he also ranked third in home runs with 46 and second in RBI (118) in all of baseball.

Thu Dec 7 202321:30Mets, Pete Alonso Haven't Talked Extension
The New York Mets and All-Star first baseman Pete Alonso have not talked about a long-term contract extension yet this offseason, according to a source. Alonso notably hired Scott Boras as his agent back in October and he isn't scheduled to reach free agency until after the 2025 season. There wasn't much rush to talk extension as things stood, and now there will probably be less urgency given Boras' reputation for being adamant that his clients reach the open market for big payoffs. Contract aside, the 29-year-old right-handed slugger is one of the premier sluggers in the game, and the Mets currently have no plans to trade him away. The three-time All-Star and former National League Rookie of the Year in 2019 hit a career-worst .217 in 154 games in 2023, but it came with 46 home runs and 118 RBI.

Thu Oct 5 202312:02Pete Alonso Hires Scott Boras
New York Mets All-Star first baseman Pete Alonso has hired agent Scott Boras and the BorasCorp to represent him as he heads into his final season in 2024 before free agency. Boras has a reputation for taking most of his clients into free agency, but the Mets do have a good relationship with Boras and have agreed to three big free-agent deals with Boras clients in recent years in Max Scherzer and Brandon Nimmo. The Mets tried to lock up Alonso to a long-term extension last winter, and they will surely try to do so again this winter. There was some talk of the Brewers or possibly Cubs trading for Alonso in August, but Mets front-office people said nothing was close to actually happening. The 28-year-old is one of the best right-handed sluggers in the game and is going to get paid handsomely either way.

Wed Sep 20 202316:13Mets To Keep Negotiations With Pete Alonso Private
The New York Mets are going to keep contract negotiations with All-Star first baseman Pete Alonso private. "While we understand the media and public interest in player contract situations, we strongly believe in keeping those conversations private. Any circulating reports do not accurately reflect our conversations with Pete," general manager Billy Eppler said in a statement. There have been rumors floating around that Alonso is seeking a 10-year deal from the Mets. The 28-year-old may not get a contract that long, but he's surely going to be paid handsomely eventually. Alonso has hit only .221 (116-for-524) in his fifth year with the Mets in 2023, but he also has 45 home runs, 112 RBI, four steals and 87 runs scored in 143 games. He's now topped 40 home runs and 100 RBI for the third time in five big-league seasons.

Sun Aug 27 202311:33Pete Alonso Passes Concussion Protocol, In Sunday’s Lineup
New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso (head/neck) passed concussion protocol on Saturday night and is in Sunday's lineup for the series finale versus the Los Angeles Angels. The 28-year-old was beaned in the neck area by an off-speed pitch in the eighth inning of Saturday's contest, causing the frustrated Alonso's removal after benches cleared. Fantasy managers can breathe a sigh of relief at the sight of Alonso right back in the mix for Sunday's tilt, though his exit did seem somewhat precautionary amid a lost Mets season. The three-time All-Star is hitless in his last 11 at-bats, so Alonso tries to end that dry spell in this one.

Sat Aug 26 202322:04Pete Alonso Removed From Saturday's Game After HBP
New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso (neck) was removed from Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Angels after being hit by a pitch. Benches cleared after Alonso was hit near the back of his neck with a Jos Soriano curveball. The 28-year-old was removed from the game and replaced by Danny Mendick. He went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts before exiting. The severity of Alonso's injury is unknown at this time, and he is considered day-to-day. The Mets slugger is hitting .220 with 39 home runs, 95 RBI, 73 runs, and four stolen bases over 121 games in 2023. His next chance to return to the lineup will be Sunday's series finale against the Angels.

New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso hit a two-run homer off veteran right-handed pitcher Adam Wainwright as the Mets dropped the Cardinals 4-2 on Thursday. The home run was Alonso's only hit as he was 1-for-3 at the plate in the game. Most recently, he has cranked 11 homers in his last 23 contests. The 28-year-old has 37 home runs and is slashing .223/.324/.852 in 417 trips to the batter's box this season. After Thursday's game, Alonso now has 91 RBI.

Tue Aug 8 202312:02Pete Alonso Goes Deep Twice In Rout Of Cubs
New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso led the way in the team's 11-2 dismantling of the visiting Chicago Cubs on Monday night by going 3-for-4 with two home runs, a career-high-tying six RBI and two runs scored. The 28-year-old slugger got going right away with a three-run bomb in the first inning, and the Mets never looked back. The multi-homer game was the fourth of the year for Alonso, and he now ranks third in the big leagues in home runs (33) and RBI (83). He's hitting just .225 (87-for-386) with a .317 on-base percentage, but most fantasy managers are completely fine sacrificing a low batting average for the game-changing type of power that he possesses. Alonso will remain a must-start in fantasy lineups the rest of the way.

Tue Aug 1 202313:58Mets Not Interested In Trading Pete Alonso
New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso is not expected to be traded ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline, according to Jon Heyman of MLB Network. A recurring All-Star and Home Run Derby contestant, Alonso is slashing .218/.314/.506 with 30 homers, 9.2% walk rate, and 20.7% strikeout rate this season. He has produced 10.7 oWAR and would likely fetch a solid return if the Mets were to trade him. However, barring something unforeseen, Alonso will remain with New York for the rest of the season. He's under contract with the club for next year, too, and will hit free agency prior to the 2025 campaign. Regardless of what team Alonso is on, his power makes him a high-end option in fantasy baseball.

Sat Jul 29 202300:51Pete Alonso Heating Up, Bashes Two Homers In Win
New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso went 2-for-4 with two home runs and five RBI in Friday's 5-1 win over the Washington Nationals. The 28-year-old shouldered the offensive load in this one, accounting for all of New York's scoring. Alonso began the contest 0-for-2 before his towering fifth-inning three-run blast would get the Mets on the board. The slugger then cracked another two-run big fly in the seventh frame to notch his second two-homer, five-RBI effort of the week after doing so also on Tuesday. Alonso had been scuffling at the plate in a big way since returning from the injured list with a left wrist sprain on June 18, but he's finally starting to pick it up. Over Alonso's last seven outings, the three-time All-Star is hitting .423 (11-for-26) with four round-trippers and 10 RBI.

Mon Jul 17 202309:51Pete Alonso Continues To Struggle
New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso is having a tough time at the plate right now. Alonso got to a hot start, but has struggled at the plate since the end of May. On Sunday, Alonso went 0-for-4 in what ended up being a 2-1 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers. Alonso is now 1-for-20 over his last six games with an OPS below .800 right now. He remains fifth in the majors with 26 home runs, so that's about the only fantasy value he's providing right now.

Mon Jul 3 202314:29Pete Alonso To Appear In Home Run Derby
New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso, who entered Sunday's action against the San Francisco Giants in third in the majors in home runs with 25, will take part in his fourth Home Run Derby in his five years in the big leagues in Seattle next week. Alonso also leads the Mets in RBI with 58. The 28-year-old right-handed slugger will be attempting to win his third Home Run Derby crown next week, which would tie him with Ken Griffey Jr. as the only three-time winners of the event. Alonso had a bad month of June at the plate, going 10-for-66 (.152), and he's hitting only .221 (62-for-281) on the season. He remains one of the elite sluggers in the game, though, and he ranks fifth on the team's all-time list in home runs with 171 and is 12th in franchise history with 438 RBI.

Mon Jun 26 202314:01Pete Alonso Clubs 24th Homer In Loss
New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Sunday's dramatic 7-6 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies. The 28-year-old swatted a Jose Alvarado heater into the opposite-field seats during the seventh inning for his 24th big fly of the season. Alonso's big bat has helped prevent New York's tumultuous season from completely derailing in 2023. After recently missing some time with an injured wrist, the two-time HR Derby champion has fallen behind Matt Olson as the NL home run leader. Even so, Alonso is slashing a powerful .226/.318/.537 with 24 long balls, 55 RBI, and two stolen bases across 292 trips to the plate this year.

Sun Jun 18 202312:10Pete Alonso Back From Injured List
The New York Mets reinstated first baseman Pete Alonso (wrist) from the 10-day injured list on Sunday and optioned infielder Mark Vientos to Triple-A Syracuse in a corresponding move. It's a nice surprise for Alonso's fantasy managers on Father's Day. The 28-year-old right-handed slugger is starting at first base and is hitting cleanup against St. Louis Cardinals left-hander Matthew Liberatore. Alonso is returning from a bone bruise and left-wrist sprain that landed him on the IL on June 8, but he missed the minimal time. Despite the missed time, he still leads the league with 22 home runs and also has 49 RBI and an .872 OPS in 62 games played. Fantasy managers will want to get Alonso back in their starting lineups in all leagues immediately.

Fri Jun 16 202321:29Pete Alonso Hitting In The Cage
According to Mets manager Buck Showalter, first baseman Pete Alonso (wrist) hit in the cage on Thursday. The 28-year-old has 22 home runs and 49 RBI in 62 games this season. Unfortunately, he suffered a bone bruise and sprain in his left wrist during a game against Atlanta, which is expected to keep him out for up to four weeks. That said, Alonso is moving in a favorable direction, especially since he was observed taking ground balls on Tuesday, so hopefully, he'll be back as soon as possible. But in the meantime, fantasy managers should keep him stashed.
