The Mets are not expected to re-sign Alonso, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Mets made what Sherman describes as a "last-ditch effort" to retain Alonso by recently offering him a three-year contract in the $68 to $70 million range, which the first baseman unsurprisingly rejected. It's always possible there's a change of heart, but all signs now point to the Mets moving on from Alonso, who is third on their all-time home run list with 226. Currently, the plan is to shift Mark Vientos to first base and have Brett Baty, Ronny Mauricio (knee) and Luisangel Acuna compete for the third base job.

Alonso rejected the Mets' one-year, $21.05 million qualifying offer Tuesday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Alonso's rejection of the offer was a formality, as he is in line for a big payday this winter. The Mets are interested in retaining the first baseman, but should he sign elsewhere, the club will receive a draft pick as compensation.

The Mets extended Alonso a one-year, $21.05 million qualifying offer Monday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

If Alonso departs in free agency, the Mets will receive a draft pick as compensation. Alonso put up a .788 OPS with 34 home runs over 696 regular-season plate appearances with the Mets. The first baseman will turn 30 in December.

EDGE Analysis

The Mets first baseman entered this game on a cold spell, hitting just .213 (10-for-47) in 14 September games, and left having doubled his RBI total on the month. Alonso drove in his first pair of runs with single in third inning before adding a three-run homer to his ledger in the eighth. Perhaps this performance will bust the free-agent-to-be out of his September swoon. Alonso is now slashing .244/.330/.472 with 33 homers, 31 doubles, 86 RBI and 87 runs scored across 649 plate appearances this season.

Alonso went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored Saturday in a 5-3 victory versus the White Sox.

It was his 30th homer of the campaign, marking the fifth time in six career seasons he's reached that total (the only exception was the pandemic-shortened 2020 campaign). In August, Alonso posted a .250 batting average with eight homers, 19 RBI and 16 runs over 104 at-bats.

Alonso went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's win over the Diamondbacks.

His home run put him at 220 for his career and tied him with Mike Piazza for third most in Mets history. Alonso has struck out eight times over his last four games but, he is also managing to get on base, reaching safely in nine of his last 10 games.

Alonso has been hot with three home runs over his last five games and four long balls already since the All-Star break.
