The New York Mets let Pete Alonso walk without ever making an offer to retain him, league sources told The Athletic on Wednesday shortly after the slugger agreed with the Baltimore Orioles on a five-year, $155 million deal.
The Mets held some interest in bringing Alonso back, but they were uncomfortable going to the lengths and figures that he ended up with, league sources said.
Alonso, the club’s all-time home run leader, is leaving the Mets just one day after star closer Edwin Díaz agreed to a deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
