On Thursday, Joel Sherman of The New York Post revealed that the Mets offered Alonso a three-year contract in the $68 million-$70 million range. After the four-time All-Star rejected it, they set their sights on adding a top-tier reliever and potentially executing a trade for Toronto Blue Jays slugger Vladimir Guerrero Jr.

Unless Cohen has another Correa moment – which seems doubtful – or Alonso drops his demands precipitously, then one of the best power hitters in Mets history is going to another franchise.

Pete Alonso's time may be nearing an end as the two sides are not close to an agreement on the slugger's next contract.
