New York reportedly offered Alonso a three-year contract worth $68-70 million. The offer was seen as a “last ditch effort,” by the Mets. Furthermore, when Alonso declined, the team began to sour on the hopes of his return, via Joel Sherman of the New York Post.

With the Mets and Pete Alonso still far apart monetarily and a parting looking likely now, the Mets may well stay internal for the starting infield spot.

There has been zero movement since former Mets general manager Jim Duquette reported that Alonso’s camp reached out to the Mets with an offer to re-sign him last Friday. With the Mets fearing losing available players, like top free agent reliever Tanner Scott, they now seemed to have moved on from Alonso.
