Now that New York Mets 1st baseman Pete Alonso has won honors as National League Rookie of the Year, his club needs to sign him to a multi-million dollar long-term contract
“We haven’t really thought that far ahead about what Pete’s financial situation will be next year other than the fact that he deserves everything he gets at this point,” said Van Wagenen Monday night, sounding more like his former role as an agent than a baseball ops executive as the first day of the GM meetings ended in Paradise Valley, Arizona.
"I have the utmost respect for veterans and guys who put their lives on the line every day and make the ultimate sacrifice," Alonso said at the time he won the Derby."I want to bring awareness, not only to the people fighting overseas, but the people who are keeping us safe at home. And for good reason. Along with the 53 homers, Alonso knocked in 120 runs and had a .941 OPS, a stat which combines on-base and slugging percentages.Last year, right-hander Jacob deGrom won the NL Cy Young Award. At the time, he was a 30-year-old and had a little more than four years of service. The Mets wound up signing deGrom to a five-year, $137.5 million deal through 2023 with a $32.5 million club option for ’24.
Indeed, deGrom didn’t sign his new contract until March 26, two days prior to the start of the regular season. Under the current Basic Agreement, the Mets could re-sign Alonso for just above the minimum and the player can do nothing about it.
