The most high-profile “Will they/won’t they” since Jim and Pam finally came to an end on Wednesday night when the New York Mets re-signed first baseman Pete Alonso to a two-year, $54 million contract. The deal comes with a $10 million signing bonus and an opt-out after the first season, making it essentially a one-year, $30 million deal.

Three weeks ago, it was reported that the New York Mets “expected Pete Alonso to sign elsewhere”, as free agent talks had broken down between the franchise and it’s homegrown All-Star.

The Mets announced that free agent superstar Pete Alonso will be returning to the club after a reunion was ruled out earlier this winter.
