Signing Pete Alonso to that two -year agreement and $ 54 million (more exclusion) could be the most intelligent of the Mets. But taking into account the difficulty that the Mets had forging a deal with their beloved Slugger in winter, it is very long to extend it in season.
One more complication: if the annual salary in a long agreement would be, conservatively, $ 5 million, say $ 35 million instead of $ 30 million, that would cost the METS $ 10.5 million since they are in 110 percent of the “Steve Cohen tax.”
And Alonso, third in MLB for PAHO Enterday (1,122), will surely look for more than $ 35 million after Vladimir Guerrero obtained $ 35.7 million in his contract from $ 500 million to 14 years. (And realistically, Vlad Jr. actually is worth much more than $ 35.7 million in the initial years since recent years, gifts are presumed. Older, which requires much more short treatment.
Alonso, who will almost surely choose to become a free -synered agent, seems “on a mission,” says Mets People. Just as the defense seems improved.
