Pete Alonso isn’t going anywhere. In a surprise development, the fan-favorite first baseman reached a two-year, $54 million contract to return to the Mets, according to multiple reports. The first baseman will be making $30 million next season and owns a $24 million player option for the 2026 season.

As Mets fans showed in 2024 with the acquisition of outfielder Jesse Winker, though, hard feelings can be forgiven. Does that open the door for New York to trade for Hoskins, who signed a two-year, $36 million contract last winter, if Alonso doesn't re-sign?

Slugger Pete Alonso and the New York Mets are in agreement on a two-year, $54 million contract, sources told ESPN on Wednesday, ending a lengthy free agency with a return engagement to the only team for which he has played.
