 The New York Mets realize a long-term deal with Pete Alonso is unlikely before the star first baseman is eligible for free agency after the World Series.

Alonso agreed last month to a $20.5 million, one-year contract that avoided arbitration. He switched agents last fall to Scott Boras, who usually encourages players to maximize value by testing the open market.

\"That\'s probably the most likely outcome,\" new president of baseball operations David Stearns said Monday, two days ahead of the Mets\' first spring training workout.

hits ton of HRs but if if doesn't raise is OBP to .350-.360 level this year, he may not even get $25M AAV.
Boras is probably seeking a $300M contract.

Some team will open the books for him. I’m not sure it should be the Mets though.
