The New York Mets are eyeing Juan Soto as a top free-agent target while also considering the future of their star first baseman, Pete Alonso. Alonso is projected to be the most sought-after first baseman this offseason, potentially earning a deal similar to Freddie Freeman's $162 million contract.

Despite a down year offensively, Alonso's impressive track record at Nationals Park makes him a fit for the Washington Nationals, who are rebuilding and seeking veteran talent. However, concerns about his declining performance and defensive metrics may impact his market value.
