Is it the fall of a super agent? Pete Alonso (31), who was in danger of losing his child after continuing a tug-of-war with the New York Mets, has decided to take the second chance.
MLB.com , the official website of Major League Baseball, said on the 6th (Korea Standard Time), "Alonso signed a two-year, $54 million contract with New York Media."
According to the media, Alonso will receive a $10 million contract bonus and a $20 million salary in 2025. You can opt out after the end of the 2025 season and if you stay with the Mets in 2026, you will receive a salary of $24 million. He came to the market for the FA jackpot, but he actually chose to re-do it again.
Alonso, who was drafted by the Mets as the 64th overall pick in the second round of the 2016 MLB Rookie Draft, appeared in the big leagues like a comet in 2019. With 53 homers and 120 RBIs in 161 games, he attracted attention by sweeping the NL Rookie of the Year, Home Run King, and All Star.
Since then, Alonso has been reborn as the league's best slugger and first baseman. He hit more than 30 homers (37-40-46-34) for four consecutive seasons (2021-2024) except for 2020 (16 homers) during which he played a shortened 60-game season.
The Mets have offered to sign a seven-year, $158 million (W228.8 billion) extension for the 2023 season to keep Alonso, the "Franchise Star." However, Alonso rejected the Mets' offer, judging that he could earn more value in the FA market. 안전놀이터
However, he spent his career-low season ahead of the FA. Alonso played in all 162 games last year and posted a batting average of 0.240 with 34 homers, 88 RBIs and an OPS of 0.7888. Still, he had more than 30 homers, but his OPS did not exceed 0.8 for the first time since his debut. His slugging percentage (0.459) was the lowest since his debut, and his FWAR (contribution to victory over substitute players) was 2.1, his worst record except for 2020, a shortened season.
Despite his unsatisfactory performance, Alonso's plan to join hands with "super agent" Scott Boras to try to make the FA jackpot failed completely as a result. Mets owner Steve Cohen, who gave Juan Soto a 15-year, all-time contract worth $765 million (W1.1076 trillion), also complained about the negotiation process with Alonso, saying, "It's harder than Soto. I think it's a very unfair structure for us, and I feel a strong sense of rejection."
