Pete Alonso’s push for a long-term contract has sparked speculation about its impact on his MLB future, as rumors of setbacks circulate. Pete Alonso, the New York Mets’ powerhouse slugger, may find his ambition backfiring.

It is January 3, so the slow portion of the MLB offseason continues. We've still got some big-name free agents available while some trade candidates haven't yet been moved, so some stuff needs to happen before spring training.

Pete Alonso’s rumors continue to swirl as more teams emerge as contenders for the slugger. The New York Mets have Juan Soto and they have not offered Alonso a contract that suits him. Alonso declined his qualifying offer and the Mets were reportedly considering a short-term deal worth $90 million.
