After months in the free agent market, Pete Alonso returns to the New York Mets.

Alonso will earn $ 30 million this year (including a signing bonus of $ 10 million), then it will have a player option worth $ 24 million for 2026, according to the reports.
The New York Post and the United States today reported that Alonso rejected a three -year offer from Mets (worth $ 71 million per USA Today) before accepting the two -year contract.
He returns to a METS program list that was reinforced by the free agent the arrival of excursion Juan Soto on a record $ 15-year, $ 765 million.
Alonso, 30, comes from his fourth All-Star season in his six large league campaigns (all with Mets), but his power number was down.

He added four home races and 10 RBI while he went 12-for-44 (.273) in the 13 playoffs when Mets reached the National League Championship Series.
Alonso produced 40 homers and a major-league-high 131 RBI 2022 and then published 46 Homers and 118 RBI 2023.

Over 846 Career Games, Alonso owns a .249/.339/.514 Batting line with 226 home races and 586 RBI.
