With the 2025 season coming to a close and Pete Alonso’s future with the New York Mets still unclear, he shared interesting things about being constantly asked about his contract renewal. In a recent interview, Alonso expressed his frustration: “If I had a dollar for every time I was asked about a contract extension… I would be very, very rich.” This statement not only reflects his frustration but also shows the pressure that players face when their futures are placed in the media and fan vortex.
Currently, Alonso is in his sixth season with the Mets and has become an icon of the team. He currently leads the team in home runs and RBIs, and is also the record holder for most home runs in team history. However, with his current contract set to expire at the end of this season and no official word on an extension, Alonso’s future with the Mets is becoming a hot topic.
Previously, Alonso turned down a $158 million contract extension from the Mets. With his impressive form this season, he is expected to receive interest from many other teams in the upcoming transfer window. However, Alonso asserted that he believes everything will go as planned: “I believe that the right thing will happen. You can’t control fate, you can’t control what will happen… but this place has been very special to me.”
Although Alonso’s future at the Mets is still full of surprises, there is no denying that he has contributed a lot to the team. With his talent and relentless fighting spirit, Alonso is still one of the most loved and expected players by fans.
