The four-time All-Star could not reach a long-term extension with the franchise, instead opting to sign a short-term deal with a player option after the first year. Despite the uncertainty, Alonso is off to a phenomenal start in 2025. The 30-year-old has a batting average of .320, with nine home runs, 34 RBIs, and an OPS that ranks fourth overall in the MLB.In a recent interview with USA Today&#8217;s Bob Nightengale, Alonso discussed his motivations for staying with the Mets and why he&#8217;s excited about the future.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHonestly, why I would be angry? For me, this organization has believed in me since I was a 21-year-old kid. They\u2019re the team that drafted me. They\u2019re the team that called me up. They didn\u2019t trade me. So that means \u2013 I think \u2013 that they like me. This is a great group, with a great culture and great people. I\u2019ve made a lot of great relationships here, with the fans, the coaches, my teammates, the security guards, the clubhouse managers, everything. It\u2019s very special.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Related New York Mets NewsArticle continues below<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>So that weighed in on my decision a lot to come back. I get to play with a winning team that had such an amazing postseason last year. You could see all of the promise that we had. We had a lot of good momentum. I didn\u2019t want to leave that. So, for me, the biggest priority is playing for a winning organization. And there\u2019s no bigger stage than New York.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After a Cinderella run to the NLCS last season, the Mets&#8217; expectations in 2025 are as high as ever. The franchise added superstar right fielder Juan Soto and is expected to get to its first World Series since 2015. So far, New York is 25-15 and first in the NL East. The Philadelphia Phillies, who also have championship-sized expectations, are slowly working their way back in this race and are just two games back.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, Alonso will be relied upon heavily to lead the Mets to another deep playoff run. The slugger has come up in the clutch several times for New York during the regular season and in October. Alonso must continue that trend as the Mets start their slow march toward a World Series.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pete Alonso got 100% if he has any ill will toward the Mets organization<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":60749,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[23,1045,285],"class_list":["post-60748","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb","tag-mlb","tag-new-york-mets","tag-pete-alonso"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Mets&#039;
