People let me tell you 'bout my best friend,' Harry Nilsson once sang. Jeff McNeil and Pete Alonso have been two constants for the New York Mets since the 201

The New York Mets still need to figure out their first base situation, and the Baltimore Orioles have a logjam there. A deal could be a win-win for both teams.

That was the basis of Kansas City Royals first baseman Vinnie Pasquantino’s argument on “The Chris Rose Rotation” on Monday. The 27-year-old pointed to slugger Pete Alonso as an example of a first baseman undervalued by his former team, the New York Mets.

The New York Mets are still interested in a reunion with Pete Alonso, but there appears to be another team in the mix, according to former GM Jim Duquette.

“The Pete Alonso sweepstakes have taken many twists and turns this offseason, perhaps none more so than on Thursday when reports surfaced that the slugger was increasingly unlikely to return to the New York Mets,” Fansided MLB insider Robert Murray wrote recently.

Alonso remains a free agent who is seemingly without a plethora of options available to him as the start of spring training approaches.

The New York Mets believe emerging third baseman Mark Vientos can slide across and take the spot once occupied by Pete Alonso, per the New York Post.

During an appearance on the “The Chris Rose Rotation” podcast Monday, the Richmond native purported that Billy Beane’s prized stat undervalues his breed — first basemen — and that the Mets front office should look past Pete Alonso’s career 3.8 average and at everything else he brings to the table.

As the MLB offseason continues, the Mets, led by owner Steve Cohen, appear to be pivoting, with free agent Pete Alonso likely not returning.

The New York Mets are linked to free agent slugger Jurickson Profar to replace Pete Alonso, according to Robert Murray.
