However, with new front office leadership under <strong data-start=\"1487\" data-end=\"1504\">David Stearns<\/strong>, the Mets have been cautious about handing out <strong data-start=\"1552\" data-end=\"1588\">long-term, high-value extensions<\/strong> to players nearing or past age 30.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1627\" data-end=\"1826\">The team\u2019s roster construction suggests a focus on flexibility and younger talent \u2014 meaning a lengthy commitment to Alonso could clash with long-term strategy, even if his production remains elite.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1828\" data-end=\"1863\">\ud83d\udcb0 Market Value &amp; Comparisons<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1865\" data-end=\"2084\">League sources expect Alonso\u2019s camp to seek a contract comparable to deals signed by top first basemen such as <strong data-start=\"1976\" data-end=\"1995\">Freddie Freeman<\/strong> (6 years, $162M with the Dodgers) and <strong data-start=\"2034\" data-end=\"2048\">Matt Olson<\/strong> (8 years, $168M with the Braves).<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2086\" data-end=\"2308\">If Alonso indeed insists on a <strong data-start=\"2116\" data-end=\"2133\">6\u20137 year deal<\/strong>, Rogers\u2019 comments imply that the Mets are unlikely to match those terms \u2014 potentially opening the door for big-market suitors like the <strong data-start=\"2269\" data-end=\"2277\">Cubs<\/strong>, <strong data-start=\"2279\" data-end=\"2289\">Giants<\/strong>, or <strong data-start=\"2294\" data-end=\"2305\">Red Sox<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"2310\" data-end=\"2330\">\u26be What\u2019s Next?<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2332\" data-end=\"2516\">As the offseason approaches, both sides are expected to maintain dialogue, but with no extension finalized during the 2024 season, Alonso\u2019s path to free agency seems all but certain.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2518\" data-end=\"2668\">Whether the Mets choose to let him walk or re-engage with a shorter, high-AAV offer will likely define the early headlines of the 2025\u201326 offseason.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New York, NY \u2013 October 2025 \u2014 The future of slugger Pete Alonso with the New York Mets is once again under the microscope as MLB insider&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":111028,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-111026","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>QUEENS SHOCKWAVE: Mets May Lose Pete Alonso If His Long-Term Deal Demands Persist, Warns Insider Connor Rogers \u2014 Franchise\u2019s Future Hangs in the Balance [VIDEO]..!!
