Despite being a top power hitter, Pete Alonso is struggling to find a contract after declining the New York Mets' qualifying offer. It's been nearly seven weeks since free agency began, and Alonso is likely to wait until January or February for a deal.
His agent, Scott Boras, is seeking a six-year contract worth over $138 million, but competition from other first basemen may delay this. The New York Yankees have shown interest, but the Mets might also consider re-signing him under more favorable terms.
