Pete Alonso’s options are dwindling — here are his potential landing spots aside from the Mets
NY Post
The game of musical first basemen went full tilt in the past week, with several practitioners of the position signed or traded.
Most notably not among them: Pete Alonso.
The free-agent slugger saw his options dwindle, as the Yankees, Astros, Guardians, Diamondbacks and Nationals all signed or traded for a first baseman.
Paul Goldschmidt, Christian Walker, Carlos Santana, Josh Naylor and Nathaniel Lowe all found new homes.
The flurry would seem like as strong an indicator as any that Alonso will return to his old one — with the Mets — but Alonso and his agent, Scott Boras, haven’t appeared in any hurry.
Is there a market for Alonso outside Queens? Let’s examine a few landing spots that still could be logical, even with his options reduced.

WINNIPEG, Manitoba — When the Rangers started the 2025-26 season, Noah Laba and Matthew Robertson were the only first-year players on the Opening Night roster.
SALT LAKE CITY — It’s easy to forget about the quiet, which in Knicks World means Leon Rose. We’re approaching five years — amazingly — since the team president answered questions from the independent media, and I’ve always maintained that’s poor practice because it avoids responsibility. If there’s no public explanation behind a move or a goal, there’s no accountability if it doesn’t work out.
PORT ST. LUCIE — The Mets’ 2025 failing (one of them anyway) might be their big strength now.
The discourse has gone on for two seasons now. But it doesn’t exactly match reality.
