The New York Mets are the favorites to re-sign Pete Alonso, but could the slugger shock the baseball world and actually sign with the Seattle Mariners?

With their competition for first base satisfying their needs through signings and trades this offseason, the Mets remain the clearest team with a hole. The likely answer, then is that, yes, the Mets want Alonso — at their price, and they’re willing to wait around to make it happen.

Alonso's production would be valuable behind Soto, but contract length could be the sticking point of a new deal.
