The Los Angeles Angels are making a push to elevate their roster and potentially acquire star player Pete Alonso during his free agency. Alonso's free agency has been slower than expected, especially after he rejected a significant seven-year, $158 million offer from the New York Mets last year. With the Mets opting to sign new players instead of retaining Alonso, the Angels see a golden opportunity.
In their offseason strategy, the Angels have already fortified their lineup by acquiring All-Star slugger Jorge Soler and infielder Scott Kingery, along with several key signings including pitcher Yusei Kikuchi. Despite a disappointing record of 99 losses last season, the Angels are targeting Alonso as a critical piece to enhance their offensive production, especially alongside Mike Trout and Anthony Rendon.
Alonso’s impressive track record includes hitting 226 home runs and 586 RBIs in just six seasons, making him a coveted asset for any team looking to boost their power at the plate. Discussions of a potential four-year, $100 million deal have surfaced, positioning the Angels as a frontrunner for his services.
