First baseman Pete Alonso spoke about his pending free agency and the Mets' playoff hopes as the regular season winds down.
Prior to the Mets' 10-1 victory over the Washington Nationals on Tuesday, Alonso toldhe has a "gut feeling" things will work out. When asked whether his positive outlook was tied to the Mets' playoff chances or his own long-term future with the club, the first baseman smiled and replied, "Both."
Alonso, 29, will become a free agent at the season's end. In 151 games this year, the Mets’ slugger has posted career lows in OPS and home run percentage . While those are solid numbers for many players, they fall short of the high expectations placed on the four-time All-Star and two-time Home Run Derby champion during a contract year..
