Pete Alonso's future with the New York Mets takes center stage in this episode of Locked On Mets.  

Baseball insiders predict a short-term, high AAV deal for the slugging first baseman, potentially setting the stage for a career-defining season.  

Host Ryan Finkelstein breaks down why this contract structure could be Alonso's best path to maximizing his earnings and legacy with the Mets.

The episode explores the "Boras Special" contract strategy, comparing Alonso's situation to recent free agents like Blake Snell and Matt Chapman.  

Ryan analyzes how hitting behind Juan Soto could boost Alonso's production, drawing parallels to Aaron Judge's success with the Yankees. With the potential to climb the Mets' all-time leaderboards, Alonso faces a pivotal decision that could shape his future and the team's trajectory.
