Part 3/7:
In the offseason, discussions about Alonso's future were tumultuous. Initially, the Mets had offered him a seven-year, $158 million deal, which he ultimately rejected. After switching agents to Scott Boras, negotiations saw ups and downs, culminating in the Mets walking away after making a three-year $70 million offer. However, in an unexpected twist, the team re-engaged in talks, and Alonso ultimately signed a two-year deal worth $54 million with an opt-out after the first season.
