DEVELOPING: Pete Alonso Makes It Clear He “Badly Wants to Return to the New York Mets”
In an exclusive statement that has Mets fans buzzing, star first baseman Pete Alonso has made it clear that he “badly wants to return to the New York Mets” amid growing speculation about his future with the team. Alonso, who has been a cornerstone of the Mets’ offense since his debut in 2019, expressed his deep desire to stay with the franchise and continue his career in New York, despite ongoing rumors about a potential trade.
“I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again—I love this city, I love this team, and I badly want to return to the New York Mets,” Alonso shared in a recent interview. “Being part of this organization and playing in front of these fans means everything to me. I know we’ve had our ups and downs, but there’s no place I’d rather be. I’m committed to helping this team win, and I want to be here for the long haul.”
Alonso’s comments come at a time when his future with the Mets has been under scrutiny. With the Mets’ inconsistent performance over the past few seasons, many speculated that the team could look to move Alonso in an effort to rebuild or make a major roster shakeup. His name has been floated in trade rumors as teams eye the slugger, whose power and production have made him one of the most feared hitters in baseball. Alonso has been with the Mets for five seasons, racking up 170+ home runs and earning All-Star honors multiple times, but the team’s lack of postseason success has fueled discussions about his future.
Despite these rumors, Alonso’s commitment to New York has never wavered. “I understand that business is business, and things can change quickly in this game. But my heart is in New York, and my focus is on winning here,” he said. “I want to bring a championship to this city and do it with the Mets. That’s what drives me every day.”
Mets general manager Billy Eppler responded to Alonso’s remarks with support, saying, “Pete is a key part of our team and the heart of this lineup. We value him greatly, and we’ll continue to have conversations about how to build a championship-contending roster around him. His commitment to New York means a lot to this organization.”
Alonso’s desire to remain with the Mets could play a significant role in the team’s decision-making as the offseason approaches. With a new era potentially on the horizon for the Mets, the franchise will have to weigh its options carefully, keeping in mind Alonso’s dedication to the team and his potential to be a central figure in New York’s championship aspirations. For now, one thing is clear: Pete Alonso wants to keep wearing orange and blue, and his heart is set on bringing a World Series to Queens.
