Alonso finalizing 5-year, $155M deal with Orioles

Alonso ends seven seasons with Mets as franchise home run leader with 264 homers, signing a record $31 million average annual value deal with Orioles.

  • On Dec. 10, the Baltimore Orioles agreed to terms with first baseman Pete Alonso on a five-year, $155 million contract, carrying a $31 million average annual value.
  • After opting out of his Mets deal, Pete Alonso sought a long-term contract following a 2025 rebound with 38 homers and a.871 OPS, but Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns declined to engage.
  • A five-time All-Star and two-time Derby winner, Alonso played 1,032 games, hitting 264 homers to pass Darryl Strawberry as Mets' all-time leader.
  • There is no draft-pick compensation attached to Pete Alonso's signing because he was tendered in 2024, and the Baltimore Orioles had not yet confirmed the deal, sources told MLB.com reporters.
  • The signing comes amid a rough Mets winter that included the loss of Edwin Díaz and follows New York's $765 million commitment to Juan Soto, complicating offseason roster plans.
