Mets’ Pete Alonso, Sean Manaea and Luis Severino expected to decline qualifying offers
NY Post
The Mets will receive official answers Tuesday from three free agents to which qualifying offers were extended.
Pete Alonso, Sean Manaea and Luis Severino all received a qualifying offer from the team — valued at $21.05 million for next season.
All three are expected to formally reject the offer ahead of the 4 p.m. deadline.
By extending the offer, the Mets will receive draft pick compensation for each player that signs with another team.
The Mets can still negotiate longer term deals with all three.
Alonso stands to land the largest payday of the group as one of the biggest power hitters on the market.

Cade Cunningham, almost inarguably the best player in the East this season, is likely out for the remainder of the regular season. That’s the word out of Detroit following the depressing news that Cunningham punctured a lung when he took a knee to his side Tuesday from Washington’s Tre Johnson while chasing a loose ball.

Wednesday was another positive day at Yankees camp. For the first time since March 6, 2025 — an outing in which he knew “something wasn’t right,” which began a weeks-long saga that ended on the operating table for Tommy John surgery — Gerrit Cole was back on a mound and facing hitters in game action.
