Pete Alonso's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

According to league sources, free-agent first baseman Pete Alonso's representatives have offered the New York Mets a three-year deal with opt-outs, and the deal is only available to the Mets right now. However, no deal is imminent, and Alonso's agent, Scott Boras, declined to comment on the situation. Many teams have already found their answer at first base this offseason, but Alonso remains on the open market and hasn't gotten any long-term offers to his liking. At this point, a return to New York, even though the Mets signed superstar outfielder Juan Soto, is the most likely outcome. The 30-year-old right-handed slugger known as the Polar Bear had a down year offensively by his standards in 2024 with 34 home runs, 88 RBI and a .788 OPS, which were all career-lows. However, he's been extremely durable and remains a good bet for 30-plus homers again in 2025, regardless of where he's playing.

According to Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic, the San Francisco Giants could be losing interest on free-agent first baseman Pete Alonso. While Alonso was initially linked to the Giants earlier in free agency, it seems the Giants may opt to go in a different direction. Baggarly notes that since the Giants already sacrificed two draft picks after acquiring shortstop Willy Adames earlier this offseason, they will likely not entertain a contract with Alonso due to the fact they would have to sacrifice additional picks to acquire him. Instead, the Giants would rather target an infielder to create a more "athletic, and dynamic scoring environment." While Alonso lacks speed, he would bring an elite power bat to their starting nine, as he's hit at least 34 home runs in each full season of his career. This would leave LaMonte Wade Jr. as their current first baseman. Last summer, Wade posted a solid .260/.380/.381 slash line with an excellent 15.5% walk rate.

According to Jon Heyman of the New York Post, the Los Angeles Angels are "looking at" free-agent first baseman Pete Alonso. Heyman noted that he does believe owner Arte Moreno is trying to get another impact bat in the lineup. If Alonso were to sign with the Halos, first baseman Nolan Schanuel would move to the outfield. However, Heyman said that free-agent outfielder Anthony Santander "is probably more likely" to sign in Los Angeles than Alonso. Alonso would provide some much-needed power to the Angels lineup that also brought in designated hitter Jorge Soler earlier this offseason. Last summer in Queens, Alonso held a .240/.329/.459 slash line with 34 home runs. Under the hood, he generated a strong .343 xwOBA, 13.2% barrel rate, and a 46.4% hard-hit rate. Alonso has also been in contract discussions with the New York Mets throughout the offseason.
