Pete Alonso reveals when he knew Mets return wasn’t in the cards: ‘No regrets’

Pete Alonso continues to beam about Baltimore, less than two weeks after signing with the Orioles.

After calling his new team “the perfect fit” at his introductory press conference, the slugger reiterated Monday on “Foul Territory” that he has “no regrets” about leaving the Mets.

The Mets’ all-time home run leader also revealed it became clear his time in Queens was ending once it was apparent the club wasn’t going to make an offer.

“It was pretty much when it came down to the true negotiating point,” Alonso said. “It’s like, alright, it’s just not gonna happen. For me, I gave everything I had — and I always do — and I don’t take it personal because at the end of the day, it’s their philosophy, it’s their business decision.”

Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns told Alonso’s camp during the GM Meetings in November that the team remained interested in a reunion — but Alonso said that’s also when the Orioles began showing serious interest.

“So it started right at the GM meetings,” Alonso said. “Mike [Elias] sat down with my agent Scott [Boras]. They just wanted to gauge interest. And for me, I’m like, they got a great, talented young core and Camden [Yards] is a very, very gorgeous park, it’s a great place to play. It’s always, for me, a very enjoyable place to hit.
