The Mets and Pete Alonso cannot come to terms on a standard contract, so maybe it is time for them to do something creative that could be a win-win.

It is conceivable that Baty and Acuña alone could replace Alonso's home runs, which is to say nothing of what they stand to gain from their new center fielder. That is Jose Siri, who hit as many homers on his own last season (18) as the Mets got from all their center fielders.

While there is still time to finalize a deal with the New York Mets, MLB insider thinks that Pete Alonso is desperate in joining the team.
