Steve Cohen: Mets ‘Still Engaged’ on Pete Alonso

With Juan Soto in the fold, attention now turns to building the rest of the 2025 roster, and putting a power bat behind him should be a priority.

Steve Cohen said Thursday the Mets are “still engaged” with Pete Alonso. “Hopefully, we’ll get there,” he told reporters at Soto’s Citi Field introduction news conference.

Alonso is meeting with teams, according to his agent Scott Boras, who also represents Soto. He did not name which ones.

“He is open to meeting with a lot of teams and obviously he has been doing so,” Boras said at the baseball winter meetings in Dallas on Wednesday. “Certainly his experiences with the Mets were extraordinary for both them and him.”

“We’d love to bring Pete back, Pete’s been a great Met,” president of baseball operations David Stearns told reporters earlier this week. “He’s had some enormous hits for us and we’ll see where that goes. I think our ownership has consistently demonstrated that there’s going to be resources when we need them. There is the ability for us to make baseball moves when we think that they’re there to improve the team, and we’re gonna continue to pursue a wide variety of areas to improve our team.”
