• Orioles' Pete Alonso: Goes yard in spring debut

  Rotowire Feb 20, 2026

  Alonso went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Friday's 2-0 Grapefruit League win over the Yankees. Alonso made his presence felt in his spring debut and first game for the Orioles, crushing a two-run shot in the sixth inning. The All-Star first baseman inked a five-year, $155 million contract with Baltimore this winter, and Alonso already appears to be in midseason form after smashing at least 34 homers in each of his past five seasons for the Mets.

• Orioles' Pete Alonso: Gets $155 million deal from Orioles

  Rotowire Dec 10, 2025

  The Orioles signed Alonso to a five-year, $155 million contract Wednesday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports. After losing their closer earlier this week, the Mets now watch their slugging first baseman walk out the door. The $31 million average annual value is a record for a first baseman. Alonso -- who just turned 31 over the weekend -- put together one of his better seasons in 2025 with the Mets, slashing .272/.347/.524 with 38 long balls and 126 RBI. The Orioles are now overloaded with first baseman/designated hitter types and seem likely to deal from that surplus for pitching help.

• Pete Alonso: Officially opts out of contract

  Rotowire Nov 3, 2025

  Alonso became a free agent Monday after opting out of his contract, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports. Alonso wound up having to settle for a two-year, $54 million contract with the Mets last offseason, but he had the ability to opt out after the first year of that deal and has unsurprisingly done just that. The first baseman slashed .272/.347/.524 with 38 home runs and 126 RBI for the Mets in 2025. Alonso is not eligible to receive a qualifying offer this offseason, which should help his market.

• Mets' Pete Alonso: Opting out of contract

  Rotowire Sep 28, 2025

  Alonso said after Sunday's 4-0 loss to the Marlins that he plans to exercise the opt-out clause in his contract and become a free agent this offseason, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. Alonso signed a two-year, $54 million contract with the Mets in February, which included an opt out after the 2025 season. For the second season in a row, Alonso played in all 162 games for the Mets, batting .272 with 38 home runs, 126 RBI, 87 runs scored and one stolen base. The slugger will now enter free agency with plenty of interested suitors for his talents, though a return to the Mets could remain a possibility.

• Mets' Pete Alonso: Prolific campaign continues in win

  Rotowire Sep 27, 2025

  Alonso went 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI, a walk and an additional run scored in Saturday's 5-0 win over the Marlins. Alonso ripped his 38th big fly of the season and his seventh of the month. The All-Star first baseman will likely fall short of what could be his fourth career 40-homer year, barring a multi-homer effort in Sunday's regular-season finale in Miami, but he's once again been a prolific four-category fantasy stud in 2025. Through 161 outings, Alonso is batting a career-high .273 with 126 RBI and 87 runs scored.

• Mets' Pete Alonso: Makes history in easy victory

  Rotowire Aug 12, 2025

  Alonso went 3-for-5 with a double, two home runs, three RBI and three runs scored in Tuesday's 13-5 win over Atlanta. It was a record-setting night for the All-Star first baseman, who passed Darryl Strawberry for the most home runs in Mets franchise history, per Anthony DiComo of MLB.com. After posting a miserable .548 OPS in the month of July, Alonso is heating back up in August. He's hitting .350 with six long balls, four doubles and 15 RBI across his first 40 at-bats of the month to bring his OPS to .880 for the season.

• Mets' Pete Alonso: Surging to begin August

  Rotowire Aug 4, 2025

  Alonso went 4-for-5 with a home run and four RBI in Monday's 7-6 extra-inning loss to Cleveland.

The All-Star first baseman has three long balls in four outings so far this month, and Monday marked his seventh game of the year with at least four RBI.

• Mets' Pete Alonso: Homers in loss

  Rotowire Aug 1, 2025

  Alonso went 1-for-3 with a home run, a walk and two RBI in Friday's 4-3 extra-inning loss to the Giants. Alonso got the Mets on the board with a 414-foot blast in the seventh inning and then tied the game in the eighth with a sacrifice fly. It was a much-need effort from the 30-year-old, as he'd gone just 1-for-23 since last homering July 23. For the year, he's slashing .260/.352/.498 with 23 long balls, 83 RBI, 55 runs scored and a stolen base across 475 plate appearances.

• Mets' Pete Alonso: Busts slump with homer

  Rotowire Jul 23, 2025

  Alonso went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Angels.

• Mets' Pete Alonso: Should get start Monday

  Rotowire Jul 21, 2025

  Alonso (hand) is expected to return to the starting lineup Monday against the Angels, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports. The first baseman entered Sunday's win over the Reds in the seventh inning as a defensive replacement for Mark Vientos to keep his club-record consecutive games streak alive, and Alonso's hand contusion was never viewed by the Mets as a serious concern. The brief time off may end up doing the slugger some good, however -- through 62 plate appearances in July, Alonso's slashing just .176/.306/.392, although he does have three homers and 12 RBI.

• Mets' Pete Alonso: Dealing with hand contusion

  Rotowire Jul 20, 2025

  Alonso has been diagnosed with a right hand contusion near the base of his thumb, explaining his absence from the starting lineup Sunday versus Cincinnati, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. Importantly, X-rays on Alonso's hand came back negative, and he may be available to pinch hit. The slugger would need to do so in order to extend his franchise-record streak of 353 consecutive regular-season games played. It doesn't sound like the Mets are concerned that Alonso is dealing with a significant injury, so an IL stint doesn't seem likely.

• Mets' Pete Alonso: Out of lineup Sunday

  Rotowire Jul 20, 2025

  Alonso is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's tilt versus Cincinnati. This is a very rare day off for Alonso -- the last time he wasn't included in a Mets starting lineup was May 30, 2024, per Anthony DiComo of MLB.com. The All-Star first baseman has also appeared in a franchise-record 353 straight regular-season contests, so he'd need to get into the game at some point Sunday to extend that streak. It's not yet certain why Alonso isn't starting, but he's been slumping of late, going 2-for-25 with eight strikeouts over his previous seven games. Mark Vientos is starting at first base for New York in the series finale against the Reds.

  Rotowire Jun 5, 2025

  Alonso went 2-for-4 with two home runs and five total RBI in a 6-1 win against the Dodgers on Wednesday. Alonso was almost the entire Mets offense in the victory, as he collected two of the team's four hits and knocked in five of the squad's six runs. His first long ball was a 392-foot, two-run shot in the first inning, and the slugger added a massive 447-foot, three-run blast in the eighth. Alonso went through a 16-game stretch without a home run between May 6 and May 24, but since then he's bounced back with five long balls and 15 RBI across his subsequent 10 contests.

  Rotowire May 6, 2025

Alonso has five multi-hit efforts over his last eight games, a span that has seen him rack up three homers, seven RBI and nine runs scored.
