It's been a long offseason for four-time All-Star Pete Alonso. The hard-hitting first baseman has been one of the most prolific home run hitters in the majors since his debut in 2019. However, his free agency market may not have been what he thought it was. Despite putting up impressive numbers throughout his career so far, Alonso remains available in free agency.
It remains to be seen how much Alonso will sign for and, perhaps, more importantly, where he will sign. After being linked to a number of different clubs this offseason, several potential suitors opted to go in a different direction at first base. Christian Walker, Paul Goldschmidt and Carlos Santana are some of the first basemen who have already inked new deals. So where does this leave Alonso?
