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.

The New York Mets have made an offer to retain their free-agent first baseman, Pete Alonso, according to an online report by a former MLB star.

With their competition for first base satisfying their needs through signings and trades this offseason, the Mets remain the clearest team with a hole. The likely answer, then is that, yes, the Mets want Alonso — at their price, and they’re willing to wait around to make it happen.

The New York Mets added Juan Soto this offseason and are trying to land Pete Alonso as well. However, if Alonso leaves, the Mets could pivot to a cheaper option in free agency to replace him.
