By signing a short-term deal with the New York Mets, Pete Alonso is likely to face problems in free agency next offseason, according to analyst Chris Rose.

Pete Alonso and the New York Mets finalized their two-year, $54 million contract as spring training opened in Florida with the team’s first formal workout for pitchers and catchers. New York also re-signed injured reliever Drew Smith to a one-year deal with a club option for 2026.
