The New York Mets have been busy this offseason. They loaded up on pitching and also managed to sign Juan Soto to a 15-year, $765 million contract. However, time appears to have run out to secure a reunion with a franchise fixture.

The biggest question swirling around the New York Mets right now is whether star first baseman Pete Alonso will come back in free agency. There have been a lot of rumors about him throughout the offseason to this point.

The New York Mets already signed Juan Soto away from the New York Yankees, and could beat their crosstown rivals in in free agency once again based on their latest target.

Should the New York Mets spend the money they were going to use on Pete Alonso to nab another All-Star slugger?

There has been zero movement since former Mets general manager Jim Duquette reported that Alonso’s camp reached out to the Mets with an offer to re-sign him last Friday. With the Mets fearing losing available players, like top free agent reliever Tanner Scott, they now seemed to have moved on from Alonso.

The New York Mets have been focused on trying to bring back Pete Alonso, but that does not mean they won't try to shore up their bullpen some more.
