Pete Alonso, the New York Mets’ star first baseman, has agreed to a two-year, $54 million contract to remain with the team. The deal includes a $10 million signing bonus, a $20 million salary for the 2025 season, and a $24 million player option for 2026. Notably, Alonso can opt out after the 2025 season, allowing him to re-enter free agency if he performs well. citeturn0news9

 

This agreement concludes a protracted negotiation period. Earlier, the Mets had offered Alonso a three-year, $71 million contract, which he declined in favor of the higher annual value and opt-out clause in the current deal. citeturn0news9

 

Alonso’s decision to stay with the Mets comes after a less-than-ideal 2024 season, where he recorded 34 home runs and a .788 OPS. Despite this, the Mets are optimistic about his potential for a strong 2025 season, especially with the addition of Juan Soto to the lineup. citeturn0news9

 

Alonso, who has been with the Mets since being drafted in 2016, has established himself as a key player for the team. His return is expected to bolster the Mets’ offense as they aim for a competitive 2025 season. citeturn0news9
