Alonso signed a one-year, $20.5 million contract with the Mets on Thursday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Alonso is in the final year of arbitration eligibility and saw his salary jump six million from 2023. He's proven to be one of the most consistent power producers across five full seasons in the majors, reaching 40 homers in each of the last two campaigns. Assuming he and the Mets don't agree to an extension, Alonso will hit free agency next offseason.

Alonso has hired BorasCorp agency to represent him, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Alonso has one year remaining of arbitration eligibility before free agency and has decided to add Scott Boras as his new representation as he seeks a long-term contract. The first baseman's name has popped up in trade rumors this year but, for what it's worth, new Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns has indicated that he has no intention of dealing Alonso this offseason. Whether Stearns and Boras can get on the same page in regard to a contract extension for Alonso is another matter.

Alonso went 5-for-8 with two doubles, a home run, four total runs and two RBI in Wednesday's doubleheader split against the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

The first baseman did most of his damage in an 11-2 rout during the matinee, coming a triple short of the cycle and launching his 46th homer of the season in the first inning off Braxton Garrett. Alonso has four games left on the Mets' schedule to reach 50 homers for the second time in his career.

Alonso went 2-for-5 with a double and three RBI in a 7-1 victory versus Arizona on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Alonso kicked off the scoring in the contest with an RBI single in the first inning and added a two-run double in the fifth. The slugger is up to 108 runs batted in on the campaign, second-most in the majors. Alonso has also belted 44 homers -- he and Matt Olson are the only big-leaguers so far this season with at least 40 long balls and 100 RBI.

Alonso went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

The first baseman launched a Ryne Nelson fastball into the second deck in right-center field in the fifth inning, giving Alonso his fifth long ball in the last eight games. Matt Olson has run away with the home run and RBI crowns in 2023, but Alonso is second in the majors in both categories, sitting tied with Shohei Ohtani (oblique) at 44 homers while his 105 RBI are currently one ahead of Kyle Tucker and two clear of Mookie Betts.

Alonso went 1-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Tuesday's 11-5 win over the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

After driving in the Mets' first run of the night with a sacrifice fly in the first inning, Alonso launched his 42nd homer of the season, and third in the last two games. Alonso sits three long balls behind Atlanta's Matt Olson for the major-league lead, and his 102 RBI on the season also rank second to Olson in MLB.

Alonso went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run, a solo home run and an additional RBI in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

After going 11 consecutive games without a home run, Alonso delivered two Sunday, one off of George Kirby and the other off Trent Thornton. The first baseman is now up to 41 long balls on the season, good for the third most in baseball. He'll look to carry his hot bat into the Mets two-game series with the Nationals starting on Tuesday.

Alonso (head) will start at first base and bat cleanup Sunday versus the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Alonso took a pitch to the head/neck area in Saturday's loss, but he cleared the concussion protocol and was given the green light to rejoin the lineup a day later. The 28-year-old slugger has registered an .846 OPS with 39 home runs and 95 RBI through 122 games this year for New York.

Alonso has passed concussion protocol after being hit in the head/neck area by a pitch in Saturday's loss to the Angels, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Alonso was plunked by a wild breaking ball from Halos reliever Jose Soriano in the eighth inning and was removed from the game for a pinch-runner. It sounds like he's going to be fine, though, with Mets manager Buck Showalter saying he doesn't anticipate the slugger needing to undergo any more tests in the morning.

Alonso was lifted from Saturday's game versus the Angels in the eighth inning after being hit in the back of the head by a pitch, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Angels reliever Jose Soriano missed badly with a breaking ball, striking Alonso in the back of the head/neck area after his helmet had fallen off. The slugger seemed to be OK as he got up quickly and walked to first base, but the Mets opted to play things cautiously and go ahead and remove him. Alonso is likely set to go through concussion testing. He was 0-for-3 with two strikeouts prior to the hit by pitch.
