Mets could look internally to replace Pete Alonso after slugger opts out

As many have expected, Pete Alonso has opted out of his contract with the New York Mets to become a free agent. He tested free agency last season but decided to sign a two-year deal and stay in New York.

He will be one of the best first basemen on the open market and will get a good amount of attention from other teams. He could be in store for a big contract with some insiders around the sport projecting him to receive a deal for six or seven years, hovering above $175 million.

It would take a big bag to bring Alonso back to the Mets. And with the holes they have, especially in the pitching department, they could use that money elsewhere.
