Pete Alonso's future in doubt as MLB insider's comments about Blue Jays possibly not offering a better deal spark a stir on social media

Pete Alonso, one of the most talented players in Major League Baseball, has now been in the middle of controversy since he turned down a deal from the New York Mets. A couple of weeks ago, Joel Sherman of the New York Post, had revealed that the New York Mets had offered him a deal for three years worth $68 million to $70 million but Pete turned it down. While there are strong speculations of the Toronto Blue Jays being interested in Pete Alonso, as per famous sportscaster, Andy Martin, the Toronto Blue Jays might not be offering a better deal to Pete.


Recently, Andy Martino appeared on the SNY network and said, “There’s no reason for the Mets to rush. The final Mets offer that Alonso turned down, that’s going to be tough for him to beat with the Blue Jays.” This statement of Andy Martino has now divided fans; many believe this is just Pete Alonso’s way of choosing the right time to go back to the New York Mets for a better deal, while others believe the New York Mets can do better than Pete Alonso.
A fan slammed Pete Alonso for his decision to turn down the New York Mets and said, “If Pete wanted to be a Met he would be. We DO NOT want him anymore. He has shown us too much disloyalty. Let the kids play, we can use that $$ better in other places. Vientos will be a better 1B over the next 5 years than Pete.”

Another fan echoed the same emotion and wrote, “He gone!”
However, at the same time, Pete Alonso has also received support from his fans. A fan wrote, “Pete is coming back to Queens...he was hurt, he hired Boras, & now he more or less needs to be his own agent and get this done..”, while another fan wrote, “he’s comin back to queens”


Recently, Steve Cohen, the owner of the New York Mets, appeared on the team’s Amazin’ Day FanFest and revealed that while the New York Mets are trying to negotiate a deal with Pete Alonso, the process has been more “exhausting” than signing Juan Soto.
Juan Soto was signed on by the New York Mets in December for a whopping $765 million for fifteen years, making it the largest contract in the history of professional sports. Steve’s statement had attracted a lot of criticism from fans as many believe the Mets could easily offer a better deal to Pete Alonso if they could offer such an expensive deal to Juan Soto.
With Spring Training being just a couple of weeks away, tensions are on the rise regarding Pete Alonso. An official statement from Pete about this situation is still awaited as fans and experts continue to speculate Pete Alonso's final decision regarding the team he would be joining.
