Major news broke for Mets fans yesterday regarding the free agency status of first baseman Pete Alonso. The homegrown Met was a big part of October's deep NLCS playoff run for the Mets. Although he had a clutch postseason, he is coming off a season that would be considered subpar for Alonso. Even for a player like Pete, a subpar season is an all-star season.

Mets Owner Steve Cohen has FINALLY got his guy. The Mets have agreed to terms with free agent Juan Soto to a historic record-breaking contract for 15 years, $765M, with an annual value of $51M. It is the richest contract ever given to a player, beating Shohei Ohtani’s 10-year, $700M contract from last offseason. After a back-and-forth bidding war with primarily the New York Yankees, the Mets beat their crosstown rivals for the marquee free agent.
