First baseman Pete Alonso has officially landed on the free agent market. Alonso turned down the $21.05 million qualifying offer from the New York Mets earlier this offseason, a standard move to pursue a maximum contract while testing free agency.

With a fun free agent class, led by the generational talent of Juan Soto, there is a major opportunity for teams to try and build their roster for a run in 2025 and to try and keep pace with the world champion Los Angeles Dodgers.

The bid for Juan Soto’s services is finally coming to a head. With everyone fiending for information surrounding Soto’s free agency, his agent, Scott Boras, finally quelled some speculation that his announcement is imminent.
