The first base market has been picked apart at this point. The Houston Astros agreed to a deal with free agent first baseman Christian Walker. The New York Yankees traded for Cody Bellinger and signed Paul Goldschmidt, and now the Washington Nationals have swung a deal to acquire first baseman Nathaniel Lowe from the Texas Rangers.All this action doesn't leave many suitors left for the best first baseman on the market, Pete Alonso.
With the market so depleted, where will Alonso sign?Prediction: Pete Alonso signs with the New York Mets. Six years, $148 million.At this point, it's inevitable for Alonso to return to Queens. The Mets have been the favorites for quite a while in the Alonso sweepstakes, but now the rest of the suitors have effectively taken themselves out of the race.Owner Steve Cohen has the money to bring back Alonso and with the market so depleted, he could do it for cheap.
