The New York Mets need to fill a hole at first base. Will they re-sign Pete Alonso or trade for Toronto Blue Jays slugger Vladimir Guerrero Jr. instead?

The New York Mets have had a successful offseason by adding Juan Soto and bringing back Sean Manaea. They could lose Pete Alonso after a report that the San Francisco Giants are interested in him.

The New York Mets have made an offer to retain their free-agent first baseman, Pete Alonso, according to an online report by a former MLB star.

With their competition for first base satisfying their needs through signings and trades this offseason, the Mets remain the clearest team with a hole. The likely answer, then is that, yes, the Mets want Alonso — at their price, and they’re willing to wait around to make it happen.

If the New York Mets miss out on star slugger Pete Alonso, they're going to pivot to a backup plan that likely involves St. Louis Cardinals' Nolan Arenado.
