The New York Mets have multiple players who call Scott Boras their agent. But according to one New York radio host, there is one to blame for Pete Alonso’s free agency stalemate.

A new report reveals the New York Mets are in competition with the Toronto Blue Jays for not one but two big names still in free agency.

New York Yankees icon and current YES Network analyst David Cone made it known last spring that he had no problem with the fact that then-Yankees outfielder Juan Soto wanted to reach free agency following the 2024 season. Of course, Soto ultimately left the Yankees to sign a massive deal with the New York Mets.

The Mets thought about Kenley Jansen in free agency but decided against it to give Edwin Diaz the closer role with no competition.

One of the key decisions facing the Mets is whether to re-sign first baseman Pete Alonso. Negotiations have been ongoing, with reports suggesting that the team is taking a firm stance. They are offering a take-it-or-leave-it deal. Alonso’s market is weaker than expected. This allows the Mets to secure him on terms they prefer.

The saga of the New York Mets negotiations with Pete Alonso took another wild turn days after their owner went public with frustrations.

A person familiar with negotiations says the New York Mets and right-handed reliever Ryne Stanek have agreed to a one-year deal.

Most MLB teams are hesitant to give up a pick to sign Nick Pivetta, which is why he could return to the Red Sox or go to an aggressive contender like the Mets.

As the MLB offseason continues, the Mets continue to build up their bullpen bringing back free agent reliever Ryne Stanek.

Others, meanwhile, are selling it in the personage of prospects who could make the difference over the coming years. CBS Sports is underway examining the top three prospects in each organization. Our definition of "prospect" is simple: does that player have rookie eligibility remaining for the 2025 season?

Bregman stands as perhaps the best position player available in free agency with less than a month before the beginning of Spring Training, and he reportedly still has a standing six-year, $156 million offer from Houston.
