The New York Mets have work to do in order to try and keep Pete Alonso with the organization beyond the rest of this season.

Alonso has a player option and could test free agency for the second year in a row in search of a long-term deal. MLB insider Mark Feinsand believes he will join the open market.

"Through 70 games this season, it looked like Alonso would wind up in the National League Most Valuable Player conversation, hitting 17 home runs with 63 RBIs and a .981 OPS," wrote Feinsand. "Since then, Alonso has 12 home runs, 40 RBIs and a .693 OPS in 60 games, his performance dipping significantly from his red-hot start. Still, with few true power bats heading to the open market, Alonso is likely to decline his $24 million option and give free agency another whirl."
