Breaking down Pete Alonso’s market with Mets divorce expected

Pete Alonso’s home address for the 2025 season remains very much in question following the Mets’ decision to start moving on from the slugging first baseman.

The Mets, according to sources, are of the belief Alonso will sign elsewhere. The Post’s Joel Sherman reported on Thursday that Alonso declined a three-year offer from the team that would have paid in the $68 to $70 million range.

With an eye toward filling holes on the roster, the Mets are looking elsewhere. Jesse Winker’s return on a one-year deal worth $7.5 million started the next wave.

The Mets are also looking to fortify the bullpen, likely through a still robust free-agent market.

Alonso, 30, is the top power-hitting threat left in free agency, but his market diminished following a flurry last month in which several high-profile first basemen moved to new teams within a few days.

Included was Paul Goldschmidt’s arrival to the Yankees, eliminating an Alonso suitor that had shown interest early in the offseason.

Christian Walker (Astros), Josh Naylor (Diamondbacks), Carlos Santana (Guardians) and Nathaniel Lowe (Nationals) are among the other first basemen traded or signed this offseason.

The Blue Jays were linked to Alonso in a report by The Athletic this week.

The Giants, Mariners and Angels are among the teams who could still serve as a fit for Alonso.

The fact Alonso received a qualifying offer worth $21.05 million from the Mets (which he declined) leaves the team in position to receive draft pick compensation if he signs elsewhere.

If Alonso signed with the Blue Jays the team could move Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to third base. It would give the Blue Jays a premier power-hitting tandem at least for this season – Guerrero can hit free agency next winter.

The Giants added a big bat with Willy Adames’ arrival on a seven-year contract worth $182 million and could pair him with Alonso, who has thrived in pitchers’ friendly Oracle Park with seven homers in 17 career games.

Alonso could also fit with the Mariners, who have a need for power but haven’t shown an inclination to spend this winter.

The Angels’ fall to irrelevance following Shohei Ohtani’s departure last winter and injuries that have sidelined Mike Trout could lure the team into utilizing Alonso’s services.
