BREAKING NEWS: Mets Named $260 Million Star as Pete Alonso Replacement…

The New York Mets have signed superstar Juan Soto to start the summer. Since then, they’ve added to their squad, but slugger Pete Alonso remains a free agent.

While Alonso may return to Queens in 2025, the Mets must have a backup plan in case he leaves.

Chinmay Sathe of Essentially Sports recently projected that the Mets would make a massive trade for St. Louis Cardinals infielder Nolan Arenado. St. Louis is reportedly looking to trade its best infielder.

“And now, the team is eyeing another star player: Eight-time All-Star Platinum Glover, Nolan Arenado,” said Sathe. “While Soto’s addition has obviously improved the Mets’ lineup, adding a player of Nolan’s level would increase their chances of winning a championship. After all, Arenado is regarded as one of the league’s top third basemen, having played for the St. Louis Cardinals last season; his big bat, along with his Gold Glove defense, would fortify the infield and free up resources for other needs.

“However, there is one obstacle to acquiring Arenado: his contract stipulations. Nolan Arenado is owed almost $74 million over the next three seasons, which may concern other teams but not the Mets. However, under Cohen’s strategic guidance, the Mets’ financial flexibility allows them to easily retain him.

” Bringing back Alonso should be the main priority, but if New York can’t reach an agreement to keep him, this move makes a lot of sense.

If the Mets are prepared to take on a substantial portion of Arenado’s contract, they could certainly get him for little prospect capital.

Moving Mark Vientos to first base while Arenado mans the hot corner would be a significant improvement over what the Mets have on the roster right now.
