Summary
Pete Alonsos Departure Leaves Mets Scrambling for First Base Solutions The Mets all-time home run leader, Pete Alonso, has joined the Baltimore Orioles after the Mets declined to meet his contract demands. This move has left the team without a consistent first baseman, as Jorge Polanco, their current first baseman, has been sidelined with injuries for most of the season. Alonso played in nearly every game during his seven years with the Mets, while Polanco has already missed thirty-one games in just seven weeks with the team. Many believe keeping Alonso and acquiring Polanco as a utility player would have been a better strategy, but the Mets are now left searching for answers at first base.
