The New York Mets are facing potential changes at first base with Pete Alonso currently in free agency. At their recent fan fest, third baseman Brett Baty confirmed he has been asked to work out at first base, along with fellow infielder Mark Vientos. Manager Carlos Mendoza expressed confidence in the team's younger players, indicating they would have opportunities if Alonso does not return. Despite ongoing contract negotiations with Alonso, financial disagreements may lead the Mets to explore options with Baty and Vientos, both of whom have shown varying levels of success in their careers. Baty, a former first-round pick, has struggled to establish himself in the majors, whereas Vientos had a breakout season last year. In addition, the Mets signed Jesse Winker and A.J. Minter, further hinting at a shift in strategy.
