New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso went 3-for-4 with a double and two singles in his team's 4-0 win against the visiting Atlanta Braves. He also scored a run, drove one in, and broke an eight-game stretch with at least one strikeout. Alonso had been scuffling at the plate a bit, with two runs, a double, a homer, an RBI, and a .190 batting average through 11 games, but has logged a hit in three straight since, including Thursday's huge performance. After a cold spell in May, the Polar Bear is back at it again in June -- despite the minor slump -- boasting a superb .301/.381/.581 slash line. Another 40-home run season is certainly within reach for the 30-year-old, and his current .292 average would be a marked improvement on his previous personal-best (.271).

New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso hit two home runs as part of a 3-for-6 day at the plate on Sunday. He scored three times and drove in four runs. The slugger has been on fire at the plate as of late, as this brings his homer count to five in the past five games. He's slashing .301/.396/.594 with 17 home runs, 61 RBI, and 41 runs in 66 games. It will be a tough task to beat out Shohei Ohtani, but Alonso has done everything he can to put himself in the discussion for the NL MVP Award and is a top-3 first baseman for fantasy.

New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso belted his 15th home run of the season in a 6-5 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday. Alonso, who has already homered four times in June, added two singles in the game to go 3-for-4 with two RBI and an additional run scored. The 30-year-old slugger is now hitting a personal-best .298/.394/.579 with 55 RBI through 277 trips to the plate. Alonso is well on his way to a fifth straight season of 30-plus HRs and the fourth 100-RBI campaign of his career. To the delight of fantasy managers, he will begin a three-game set at Coors Field against the Colorado Rockies' woeful pitching staff on Friday.

New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso had a huge game in his team's 6-1 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday. Alonso went 2-for-4 with two homers and five RBI to power his team to the win. The veteran launched a two-run homer in the first inning and came back and added a three-run shot in the eighth. Alonso is putting together an excellent season, hitting .290 with 14 homers, 34 runs, and 53 RBI across 231 at-bats. He has three homers and 11 RBI over his past seven contests as one of the Mets' primary run producers.

New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso hit a two-run homer Sunday to help propel the club to a 3-1 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers. Alonso's 406-foot dinger to left field against Dodgers right-hander Landon Knack handed the Mets a first-inning lead they never gave up. It's the first homer since May 5 for the powerful Alonso, who snapped a career-worst 16-game dry spell. He ended the game 1-for-4 and has now gone just 20-for-88 this month. However, Alonso still boasts an enviable .291/.391/.536 line with 10 homers, 40 RBI, and a career-best 12.4% walk rate through 233 plate appearances this season. He'll take on Chicago White Sox right-hander Adrian Houser on Monday.

New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso continued his early-season hot streak with a big game in a 5-4 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday. Alonso went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer to help lead the Mets to the win. The veteran slugger gave the Mets a 2-1 lead with a two-run shot in the top of the fourth inning, a blast that traveled 425 feet with an exit velocity of 111.6 MPH. Alonso is now hitting .349 with nine homers, 26 runs, and 33 RBI across 129 at-bats this season as he stakes his claim as one of the premier power-hitting first basemen in all of fantasy.

New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso has been on a tear early in the season. He continued his reign during Saturday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Alonso drove in a run on a double in the third inning. He also smacked a solo home run in the eighth inning to add on another insurance run. The Mets would take this game 3-0 with Alonso being responsible for two of those runs. Alonso is slashing .356/.467/.753 with six homers and 23 RBI this season. Possibly, Alonso works his name into the MVP discussions if he stays on this impressive pace of play.

New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso turned in a productive game in a 6-3 loss to the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday. Alonso went 2-for-4 with a solo homer and a double but it wasn't enough to overcome the Twins. The veteran infielder kicked off the scoring in the game with a solo homer in the first, a shot that traveled 416 feet with an exit velocity of 106.9 MPH. Alonso is off to a great start this season, hitting .356 with five homers, 11 runs, and 20 RBI through 59 at-bats. While the batting average won't last as he's never hit over .271 in his career, Alonso remains an elite source for homers and RBI in all fantasy leagues.

New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso went 1-for-3 with a two-run blast and a walk during their victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday afternoon in their home opener. Alonso wasted little time as he went deep in the opening frame off Toronto right-hander Kevin Gausman. This blast also scored shortstop Francisco Lindor, who hit a leadoff double. Alonso would cross home plate again later in the sixth inning on a Starling Marte sacrifice fly. Since tallying just one hit in the first three contests of the regular season, Alonso has gone 6-for-15 at the plate with three home runs, two doubles and 10 RBI over his last four games. The 30-year-old has a disappointing 2024 campaign, to his standards, as he held a .240/.329/.459 line with 34 home runs. He will look to continue this hot stretch on Saturday, facing Toronto right-hander Chris Bassitt.

New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso came up clutch for his team during Wednesday's game against the Miami Marlins. Alonso kicked off the game with an RBI double in the first inning. It only got better from there as Alonso blasted a clutch game-tying three-run home run in the eighth inning that would send the game to extra innings. He finished his day 3-for-4 at the plate with four RBI in the 6-5 win in 11 innings. The Mets offense hasn't been great to start the season, but Alonso has been solid with two homers and eight RBI in six games.

New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso went 2-for-4 with a walk and a grand slam in a 10-4 win over the Miami Marlins on Monday. Alonso launched his first homer of the season off Cal Quantrill in the fifth inning to break the game open and give the Mets a 6-1 lead. The shot traveled 400 feet and had an exit velocity of 105.9 MPH. Alonso is off to a slow start through his first four games of the season as he came into the game with just one hit on the young season. After Monday's performance, Alonso is hitting .231 with one homer, two runs, and four RBI through 13 at-bats. He will hope Monday's performance kick-starts his bat moving forward.

After a substandard season in 2024, New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso worked hard in the offseason to figure out why his swing got "out of control" in the regular season, per The Athletic's Will Sammon. Co-hitting coach Eric Chavez said Alonso learned the importance of his hips as a power source. Alonso has his hips in the right position before and during his swing, and Chavez said the power hitter has "actually learned how to hit." "It's the best I've ever seen him. I'm very, very optimistic that Pete is going to have a monster year," Chavez said. Ideally, the 30-year-old will both refine his swing and chase bad pitches less frequently. The four-time All-Star bounced back in the batting average department last year, but his .788 OPS was a career-low, and his 34 homers were his fewest in a full season in his career. Staying in New York is a positive for his fantasy value, and fine-tuning his swing mechanics could indeed return Alonso to an elite power guy.

New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso (face) is ok after being hit by a ball in the face. Alonso was hit in the face during an infield drill on Thursday morning but was able to return to action later in the afternoon. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status in case he faces a setback. After being a free agent for the majority of the offseason, Alonso eventually resigned with the New York Mets. Earlier in February, Alonso signed a two-year $54 million contract. This deal includes an opt-out after the first season. Last season, the 30-year-old held a career-low .240/.329/.459 line with just 34 home runs and 88 RBI. During the 2022 and 2023 seasons, Alonso went deep at least 40 times and tallied at least 115 RBI in each campaign. Fantasy managers should expect Alonso to bat behind Francisco Lindor and Juan Soto in the everyday lineup, which should provide him with elite RBI opportunities that will set him up well for a bounce-back season.

According to Jeff Passan of ESPN, the New York Mets are re-signing first baseman Pete Alonso to a two-year deal worth $54 million. The contract contains an opt-out after the first season. Alonso has been in discussions with several teams during the offseason but will return to the Mets. The Blue Jays and Angels were among the teams that showed interest. During the offseason, the Mets signed superstar outfield Juan Soto to a record-breaking contract and will now bring back their first baseman as they pursue a championship. Alonso broke out at the MLB level during his first season and led the National League in home runs (53) en route to winning NL Rookie of the Year. This past season, Alonso had a down year by his standards and hit just 34 home runs with a .240/.329/.459 slash line. However, he generated a strong .461 xSLG, 13.2 percent barrel rate, and a 46.4 percent hard-hit rate, which suggests he should be poised to bounce back. Batting behind Francisco Lindor, Soto, and Brandon Nimmo should provide Alonso with elite RBI opportunities all season. He should be viewed as a top first baseman when looking for power and RBI upside.

According to Jon Heyman, the Cincinnati Reds could make a run at free-agent first baseman Pete Alonso. Heyman noted that it is a "long shot" for the small market club to sign first baseman, but they could provide Alonso a short-term deal with opt-outs that could reward him, playing in a favorable hitters park. Throughout the offseason, the Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angeles Angels have been in contact with Alonso. The Mets have also been in discussions with the 30-year-old in an attempt to bring him back to Queens. Last season, Alonso held a .240/.329/.459 slash line with 34 home runs. However, Alonso generated an impressive 13.2% barrel rate and a 46.4% hard-hit rate, which suggests that he could see some positive regression in 2025. Alonso hit at least 40 long balls during the 2022 and 2023 seasons. Fantasy managers should continue monitoring where Alonso signs but should draft him confidently, expecting a high home run output this season.

According to Laura Albanese of Newsday, the New York Mets and free agent first baseman Pete Alonso remain at a standstill in current negotiations. At a recent fan event, owner Steve Cohen expressed he does not like the current structure of the offer and said, "If it stays this way, I think we have to get used to the fact that we may have to go forward with existing players." Earlier this offseason, the Mets began to pivot off Alonso as they signed outfielder Jesse Winker, who will likely take ground balls at first during spring training. In addition, third basemen Mark Vientos and Brett Baty are also expected to take ground balls at first base, opening up the hot corner for Luisangel Acuna and Ronny Mauricio. The Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angeles Angels have emerged as some of the favorites to land Alonso. Last summer, the slugger hit 34 home runs with a .240/.329/.459 line.

According to Pat Ragazzo of Sports Illustrated, free agent first baseman Pete Alonso met with the Los Angeles Angels earlier this week. Alonso has been linked to several teams during free agency, including the Toronto Blue Jays and even a potential reunion with the Mets. Ragazzo noted that negotiations between Alonso and the Blue Jays are "not close." If Alonso were to sign with Los Angeles, the team would have move to Nolan Schanuel to another position as Jorge Soler will likely be the team's designated hitter throughout most of the season. Last summer, Alonso saw his power production drop as he hit just 34 home runs with a .240/.329/.459 line. In 2023 and 2022, Alonso launched 46 and 40 long balls, respectively. Fantasy managers should continue monitoring this situation, as Alonso would bring a much-needed power bat to his new club.

New York Newsday's Tim Healey reports on Thursday that free-agent first baseman Pete Alonso is deep in contract talks with the Toronto Blue Jays, according to a source. Healey also writes that he'll believe an Alonso/New York Mets breakup only when he sees it. Alonso's free-agent market has been frigid this winter, with all signs initially pointing to him eventually re-signing with the Mets. However, New York already made a "last-ditch effort" to bring the 30-year-old right-handed slugger back on a three-year deal for around $68-70 million, which he rejected. Despite already signing outfielder Anthony Santander, Toronto hasn't ruled out adding Alonso. If Alonso were to sign with the Blue Jays, he would likely split first base and designated hitter duties with Vladimir Guerrero Jr., and it would give Toronto yet another big-time power bat for the middle of their batting order. Stay tuned.

According to Mark Feinsand of the MLB Network, the Toronto Blue Jays are still targeting top bats on the market, including first baseman Pete Alonso and outfielder Jurickson Profar. Earlier this week, the Blue Jays signed outfielder Anthony Santander to a hefty five-year $92 million contract. However, given that the team was willing to spend on Juan Soto, Feinsand believes the team remains at the top of free-agent discussions. Pete Alonso has been linked to Toronto throughout most of the winter, and given that the Mets have begun to pivot in another direction, Toronto may be the favorite. Profar has had several suitors, including the Braves, but Toronto is reportedly looking to improve their outfield further. Alonso would bring another high-upside power bat to their lineup, while Profar will bring 20+ HR upside with elite on-base skills.

According to Scott Mitchell of TSN Sports, free-agent first baseman Pete Alonso is still "in play" for the Toronto Blue Jays. Earlier on Monday, the Blue Jays signed outfielder Anthony Santander to a five-year deal worth $92.5 million, but the team remains focused on further improving their team. Earlier in the offseason, the Blue Jays were at the forefront of several free-agent discussions, including Juan Soto and Roki Sasaki, but fell short in both bids. However, it appears the Blue Jays are willing to continue to improve their roster in hopes of competing in 2025. If Alonso were to sign with the Blue Jays, this would likely move Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to a full-time role at the hot corner. Despite hitting just 34 home runs in 2024, Alonso boasted a stellar 13.2% barrel rate and 46.4% hard-hit rate, which suggests he should be due for some positive regression in 2025. Alonso would bring another high-upside power bat to the heart of the Toronto lineup.
