New York Mets owner Steve Cohen doesn't expect to sign a long-term contract with star first baseman Pete Alonso before the end of the season.
“We haven’t had any discussion and I think at this point, for Pete, it’s best for him to go and have a great year and not be distracted,” Cohen said Sunday at Mets spring training camp.
Alonso last fall hired Scott Boras as his agent, and Boras generally prefers his clients use their free-agent rights to maximize value.“I enjoy the conversation,” he said. New York is coming off season in which it finished fourth in the NL East with a 75-87 record despite a record $355 million opening-day payroll. The Mets shed players for prospects ahead of the trade deadline and paid a record luxury tax of nearly $101 million.
