Sportscaster sees 2 teams eyeing Pete Alonso after offseason moves of Christian Walker, Paul Goldschmidt, Carlos Santana, and Josh Naylor
Pete Alonso's first baseman market has gone relatively cold. Other available options like Christian Walker (agreed to Astros on three-year, $60 million deal), Paul Goldschmidt (agreed to Yankees on one year, $12.5 million deal), Carlos Santana (signed by Guardians on one year $12 million deal) and Josh Naylor (traded by Guardians to Diamondbacks) have found their next destinations.
However, these are deals Alonso might not have signed, as he was offered something very similar by his former team, the New York Mets, in an attempt to extend him.
As the market evolves, Mets sportscaster Rico Brogna has identified two teams — the Chicago Cubs and the Washington Nationals — as serious contenders for Alonso’s services.
"I think many Mets fans have seen these moves and thought, 'Oh no, no one’s interested in Alonso, and he’s going to have to crawl back and accept less.' But I believe there are still teams in play," Brogna said (8:40 onwards).
