After months on the free agent market, Pete Alonso reportedly is returning to the New York Mets.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

The All-Star first baseman agreed to a two-year, $54 million deal on Wednesday, according to multiple media reports.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Alonso is set to make $30 million this year (including a $10 million signing bonus), then will have a player option worth $24 million for 2026, per the reports.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

The New York Post and USA Today reported that Alonso turned down a three-year offer from the Mets (worth $71 million, per USA Today) before accepting the two-year contract.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

He rejoins a Mets roster bolstered by the free agent arrival of outfielder Juan Soto on a record 15-year, $765 million deal.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Alonso, 30, is coming off his fourth All-Star season in his six major league campaigns (all with the Mets), but his power numbers were down. He finished with 34 homers and 88 RBIs while batting .240 with a .329 on-base percentage and a .459 slugging percentage. He added four home runs and 10 RBIs while going 12-for-44 (.273) in 13 playoff games as the Mets reached the National League Championship Series.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Alonso produced 40 homers and a major-league-high 131 RBIs in 2022, then posted 46 homers and 118 RBIs in 2023.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

He enjoyed his best season while capturing NL Rookie of the Year honors in 2019, when he socked a major-league-best 53 homers and drove in 120 runs while hitting .260\/.358\/.583.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Over 846 career games, Alonso owns a .249\/.339\/.514 batting line with 226 home runs and 586 RBIs.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
