The New York Mets are contemplating their options at first base with Pete Alonso's future uncertain. Mark Vientos, who had a strong 2024 season, could be shifted from third base to first if Alonso departs. There's speculation around St. Louis Cardinals' Nolan Arenado, who might be available for trade and is open to switching positions.

While Vientos excelled offensively, Arenado, a 10-time Gold Glove winner, is coming off a subpar offensive year but remains a top-tier third baseman. The Mets face a dilemma on how best to utilize their roster depending on Alonso's decision.
