Mets' Pete Alonso: Homers again in Friday's win
Rotowire
Alonso went 1-for-3 with a walk, a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Friday's 5-0 win over the Blue Jays.
Alonso did damage early, lifting a two-run blast off Kevin Gausman in the first inning to provide all the offense the Mets needed in this win. Alonso started the year 1-for-9 with three walks over the first three games, but he's logged six extra-base hits -- including three homers -- and 10 RBI over his last four contests.

Mets' Pete Alonso: Staying in Queens
Rotowire
Alonso agreed to terms on a two-year, $54 million contract with the Mets on Wednesday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

His new deal will pay him $30 million in 2025 and includes an opt-out after the first season, which could allow him to enter free agency once again next winter.

Pete Alonso: Expected to move on from Mets
Rotowire
The Mets are not expected to re-sign Alonso, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.
The Mets made what Sherman describes as a "last-ditch effort" to retain Alonso by recently offering him a three-year contract in the $68 to $70 million range, which the first baseman unsurprisingly rejected. It's always possible there's a change of heart, but all signs now point to the Mets moving on from Alonso, who is third on their all-time home run list with 226. Currently, the plan is to shift Mark Vientos to first base and have Brett Baty, Ronny Mauricio (knee) and Luisangel Acuna compete for the third base job.

Mets' Pete Alonso: Homers, plates five in win
Rotowire
Alonso went 3-for-5 with a three-run home run, a two-run single, a double and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 10-1 victory over Washington.
The Mets first baseman entered this game on a cold spell, hitting just .213 (10-for-47) in 14 September games, and left having doubled his RBI total on the month. Alonso drove in his first pair of runs with single in third inning before adding a three-run homer to his ledger in the eighth. Perhaps this performance will bust the free-agent-to-be out of his September swoon. Alonso is now slashing .244/.330/.472 with 33 homers, 31 doubles, 86 RBI and 87 runs scored across 649 plate appearances this season.
