Part 4/7:
The structure of Alonzo's new deal positions him perfectly to focus exclusively on his performance this season. By betting on himself, he has the chance to reassert his value in the league as a substantial contributor, despite the earlier disappointments. Should he excel, he could command the type of lucrative contract that previously slipped through his fingers.
Blue Jays' Perspective
As a fan of the Toronto Blue Jays, my reaction to Alonzo's return is mixed. While I am disappointed that he's not joining Toronto—a move I hoped would bolster our lineup—I genuinely feel joy for Mets fans. Alonzo represents a unique asset that could have complemented the likes of Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and other young talents in Toronto's lineup.
