The Mets are interested in retaining the first baseman, but should he sign elsewhere, the club will receive a draft pick as compensation.

• Mets' Pete Alonso: Homers, plates five in win

  09/18/2024 • By RotoWire

  Alonso went 3-for-5 with a three-run home run, a two-run single, a double and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 10-1 victory over Washington. The Mets first baseman entered this game on a cold spell, hitting just .213 (10-for-47) in 14 September games, and left having doubled his RBI total on the month. Alonso drove in his first pair of runs with single in third inning before adding a three-run homer to his ledger in the eighth. Perhaps this performance will bust the free-agent-to-be out of his September swoon. Alonso is now slashing .244/.330/.472 with 33 homers, 31 doubles, 86 RBI and 87 runs scored across 649 plate appearances this season.

  Alonso went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored Saturday in a 5-3 victory versus the White Sox. Alonso gave New York an early lead with his first-inning, two-run shot to left-center field. It was his 30th homer of the campaign, marking the fifth time in six career seasons he's reached that total (the only exception was the pandemic-shortened 2020 campaign). In August, Alonso posted a .250 batting average with eight homers, 19 RBI and 16 runs over 104 at-bats.

  Alonso went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's win over the Diamondbacks. The 29-year-old slugger took Ryne Nelson deep in the second inning to get the Mets on the board. Alonso has picked up the pace in August, slashing .253/.345/.505 with seven homers and 17 RBI in 26 games, and he sits one long ball short of his fourth straight 30-homer campaign and the fifth of his career.
