MLB News: Mets bring back All-Star 1B Pete Alonso on 2-year contract

The New York Mets re-signed All-Star first baseman Pete Alonso on Wednesday to a two-year contract with a player option for 2026.

Terms were not disclosed in the team’s announcement, but multiple media reports on Feb. 5 had Alonso agreeing to a two-year, $54 million deal. Alonso, 30, is set to make $30 million this season (including a $10 million signing bonus), then will have a player option worth $24 million for 2026, per the reports.

The New York Post and USA Today reported that Alonso turned down a three-year offer from the Mets before accepting the two-year contract. USA Today reported that deal was worth $71 million.

“We’re excited to welcome Pete back to Queens,” Mets owners Steve and Alex Cohen said in a news release. “He is a homegrown talent who is adored by our fanbase. It should be a fun summer at Citi Field watching Pete contribute to a great lineup and chase the franchise home-run record.”

Alonso ranks third in franchise history with 226 homers, behind David Wright (242) and Darryl Strawberry (252). Since Alonso’s debut in 2019, only the New York Yankees’ Aaron Judge has hit more home runs (232). Alonso leads the majors with 586 RBIs since his debut.

He is coming off his fourth All-Star season in six major league campaigns (all with the Mets), but his power numbers were down in 2024. While slugging a career-high 31 doubles, he finished with 34 homers and 88 RBIs while batting .240 with a .329 on-base percentage and .459 slugging percentage in playing all 162 games. 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.

Alonso is the first player in Mets history to have five seasons with 30 or more home runs.

“Pete is a great Met and one of the league’s elite power threats,” Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns said in the release. “I’m thrilled that we reached an agreement, and I’m looking forward to watching Pete help anchor our lineup.”

He rejoins a Mets roster bolstered by the free agent arrival of outfielder Juan Soto on a record 15-year, $765 million deal.

Alonso 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 with a .358 on-base percentage and .583 slugging percentage.

Over 846 career games, Alonso owns a .249/.339/.514 batting line with 226 home runs and 586 RBIs.
