MLB Rumors: Pete Alonso Contract Interests Giants in Free Agency amid Mets Buzz

Pete Alonso could be the San Francisco Giants long-term answer at first base.

Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reported that the Giants "remain in the market" for a first baseman or designated hitter and that Alonso is "on their radar."

This comes after pitcher Corbin Burnes, who San Francisco was considered a major contender for, signed with the Arizona Diamondbacks on Friday.

Alonso hit .240/.329/.459 with 34 home runs and 88 RBIs in 162 games in 2024. He helped the New York Mets go 89-73 and reach the NLCS.

He has received interest from the Mets, Seattle Mariners and Toronto Blue Jays, per Jon Heyman of the New York Post. He reportedly turned down a three-year, $90 million deal from the Mets.

If the Giants pursue him, he could help a Giants team that went 80-82 and missed the postseason for the third consecutive season. He could fit into the lineup as a power option with third baseman Matt Chapman and help San Francisco navigate a loaded NL West division.
