Alonso has swung the bat at an excellent level to start the year, currently hitting .349 with seven home runs.<\/p>\n<p>Currently playing on a one-year, $30 million deal with a player option in 2026, many believe that he will opt out of his deal.<\/p>\n<p>That includes Jon Heyman of the New York Post, who added that Alonso might be better off than when he was given a 7-year, 158 million offer by the Mets a few years ago.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPete Alonso, $30 million this year, $24 million next year, he\u2019s gonna opt out,\u201d Heyman said . \u201cI mean, as long as he\u2019s upright \u2014 I wouldn\u2019t even say as long as he\u2019s healthy \u2014 as long as he\u2019s upright and able to play next year, he\u2019ll be opting out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think Alonso, a lot of people were on him for not doing that 7-year, $158 million deal that was offered a couple of years ago\u2026 but he\u2019s going to end up doing better than that. He\u2019s off to a big start.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To say that the Mets wouldn\u2019t be able to keep him in town after this year would be unfair. If Alonso continues to swing the bat at the level he has, everybody knows that the Mets will try everything they can to keep him around. Money always speaks, and they have it.<\/p>\n<p>However, if they lose him, they\u2019ll have to find a new first baseman, and that seems increasingly more likely, given the current situation.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Who Could the Mets Sign?<\/h2>\n<p>The New York Mets have a few options to consider, including Josh Naylor of the Arizona Diamondbacks .<\/p>\n<p>Naylor hits free agency next winter, and Thomas Yorke of Rising Apple considers him a potential replacement for the Mets\u2019 slugger.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJosh Naylor is a first baseman for the Arizona Diamondbacks. He is presently in his last season of arbitration eligibility, making him a free agent in 2026. He had spent most of his career with Cleveland before being traded to Arizona this year. His position is first base, with the occasional start as a designated hitter. While he might considered as only an average fielder, he\u2019s the type of player who gets paid for his bat, not for his glove\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNaylor has shown improvement every season and most scouts who have followed his career consider him to be a budding superstar. No one can ever be sure just how potential will develop into production, but as Josh Naylor enters into free agency in 2026, his ceiling is unlimited. And at a mere 29 years of age, he can go as far as his talent will take him. Could it be for the NY Mets? We\u2019ll have to wait and see,\u201d he wrote .<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Would Naylor Be Good Enough?<\/h2>\n<p>Naylor isn\u2019t in the same caliber as Alonso, but he\u2019s been very good throughout his career and is enjoying early success with the Diamondbacks, hitting .318 with four home runs.<\/p>\n<p>After a .308 performance during the 2023 campaign for the Cleveland Guardians , the 27-year-old would be a nice addition for the New York Mets if Alonso walks.<\/p>\n<p>Jon Conahan covers the NBA and NFL for Heavy.com.
