The New York Mets need to fill a hole at first base. Will they re-sign Pete Alonso or trade for Toronto Blue Jays slugger Vladimir Guerrero Jr. instead?

The New York Mets have had a successful offseason by adding Juan Soto and bringing back Sean Manaea. They could lose Pete Alonso after a report that the San Francisco Giants are interested in him.

Pete Alonso and the Mets are predicted to sign a short-term deal. Alonso has a number of teams behind him and he might reunite with the Mets.

Josh Bell joining the Washington Nationals is another reminder that a Pete Alonso-New York Mets reunion feels inevitable, whether they like it or not.

While we’ve said here the Mets and Pete Alonso need to figure it out, there is said to be a sizable gap in talks at the moment. That doesn’t mean he’s gone, as the Mets have closed big gaps before (see Juan Soto below),

If the New York Mets miss out on star slugger Pete Alonso, they're going to pivot to a backup plan that likely involves St. Louis Cardinals' Nolan Arenado.

Alonso's production would be valuable behind Soto, but contract length could be the sticking point of a new deal.

Even after signing Juan Soto, the Mets can still bring back Pete Alonso. They just need to prove to him that they're serious.
