The first Basman Pit Alonso is living with New York Mets, $ 54 million, agrees with a two -year contract, a person familiar with the deal told the Associated Press.
The man spoke on Wednesday night on the condition of anonymity because the agreement was first reported by the New York Post, subject to a successful physical.
Alonso gets a $ 10 million signing bonus and gets a salary of $ 20 million this year and a salary of $ 24 million in 2026. He can again get out to become a free agent after the 2025 season.
New York offered $ 71 million, a three -year deal with a salary of $ 27 million in 2025 and the person said $ 22 million in each of the following two sessions, with the ability to exit after each of the first two years.
Alonso, which turned 30 on 7 December, came to the market for longer than other top players. Among other free-agent First Basman, Christian Walker accepted $ 60 million, three-year contract with Houston and a one-year agreements for Paul Goldsmidt (New York Yankis) and Carlos Santana (Cleveland).
Met’s owner Steve Cohen expressed disappointment last month, saying that the conversation was more difficult than the conversation, causing a $ 765 million, 15 -year contract with Juan Soto, represented by agent Scott Borus like Alonso.
“I don’t like the structures that are being presented to us,” said Steve Cohen. “It is highly asymmetric against us and I feel strongly about it. I will never say. You know, always a possibility.
“But the reality is that we are moving forward and we continue to bring the players. And as we continue to bring the players, the reality is that the peat becomes difficult to fit the players that is a very expensive group of players that we already have.”
Alonso hit 226 homeers in six sessions with New York Mets and became an all-star of four-time, but last year his strikes raised a career in 172, while his OPS fell until a career-Lo.788.
The Name of The Polar Beer, as a domestic member of Alonso Met, became a city field fan favorite.
He was NL Ruki of the Year in 2019, when he killed .260 with a prominent league-high 53 homers-a rogue record-and 120 RBI. His career-hai 131 was RBI in 2022.
Alonso batted a career-lo.217 in 2023, while killing 46 Homer and driving in 118 runs and this year with 34 Homer and 88 RBI .240 hits. His three-rins from Dewin Williams, the ninth-inning home run, in the decisive third game of his NL Wild Card Series lifted the mates over the milvoki.
After losing to Los Angeles Dozers in the NL Championship series, Mates added Soto and right-hand Frankie Montas, Clay Homes and Griffin Canning with AJ Moon in the left hand, and signed the left-handed scene Maina, Renny Stanc and left-handed Rene Stannak and Outfielder Jinky.
