A top MLB insider believes there is a real chance the New York Mets could lose Pete Alonso to a top rival, the Philadelphia Phillies, this winter. It took months for the Mets and homegrown star Pete Alonso to finally agree on terms of a new contract.

The New York Mets got Pete Alonso back for a crazy-low price in 2025. The same is highly unlikely to occur in 2026. After a frustrating free agency, Alonso returned to the Mets on a two-year, $54 million contract with a player option for the second season.

Superstar sluggers Pete Alonso and Juan Soto are a combined 3-for-22 with two walks over the losing streak. The former is slashing .294/.400/.544 with nine homers and 37 RBI, but the latter is slashing just .247/.379/.437 with eight homers and 20 RBI after signing a record-breaking 15-year, $765 million contract with the Mets in the offseason.
