In terms of how the Mets might be looking beyond Alonso, Jesse Winker was re-signed last week, filling another hole on the position-player side. The New York Post’s Joel Sherman wrote that the Mets asked both Mark Vientos and Brett Baty to start working out at first base, with Baty also getting some reps as a second baseman.

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