Despite asserting himself as one of baseball’s most prolific power hitters, Pete Alonso hasn’t exactly been a hot commodity on the open market.
The New York Yankees have money to spend after missing out on Juan Soto, and general manager Brian Cashman has confirmed that he has spoken to Boras about Alonso. However, it remains to be seen if the Yankees are willing to spend big on a first baseman, or if they would rather save that cash for a third baseman, a second baseman or some relief pitchers.
Alonso has been a staple in the Mets’ lineup ever since he blasted 53 home runs and won NL Rookie of the Year in 2019. His 226 homers and 586 RBI over the last six seasons lead the entire NL in that span.
