Alonso's Mets Farewell: A Family's New Chapter
2 May
Summary
- Alonso opted out of his contract after the 2025 season ended abruptly.
- His wife was one week postpartum after their first child's birth.
- He did not consider free agency until after the World Series concluded.
Pete Alonso found himself reflecting on his tenure with the Mets as the 2025 season concluded unexpectedly. He had opted out of the final year and $24 million of his contract following the team's abrupt season-ending loss.
At the time of the Mets' final game in Miami, Alonso's thoughts were not on his future with the team. His wife, Haley, had recently given birth to their first child, Teddy, just one week prior. This significant family event took precedence over any contract considerations.
Alonso confirmed that he did not contemplate free agency until the conclusion of the World Series. His focus was solely on his family and the new chapter they were embarking upon, away from his long-time team.
