“It’s Time For Him To Go” – MLB Analyst Sees No Future For Mets Star In Queens
Is Pete Alonso’s time with the New York Mets coming to an end? The slugger who’s been NY’s power engine for years is now right at the center of a heated debate, and the tone coming from analysts isn’t exactly subtle. The idea being that maybe Alonso’s next chapter isn’t in Queens. And that take is coming from a place of performance, timing, and some long-brewing front-office tension.
The twist, though, is that his conversation isn’t emotional. It’s business. It’s leverage. A superstar looking for long-term security, and a franchise questioning how far it’s willing to stretch. When an NL-leading 126 RBIs don’t guarantee stability, you know something more profound is brewing. Additionally, the ripple effects extend to everything – roster construction, finances, and how much the Mets value pure power moving forward.
On Nov. 20, 2025, former MLB first baseman Sean Casey broke the headline-worthy stance, and he didn’t hedge about the Mets and Alonso.
“It’s time for him to go… I don’t think he’s appreciated out there. There are a lot of teams that are going to want that power. You just can’t go find power like this. You can’t just go and find a guy who’s gonna hit close to 40 every year.”
Casey’s point hits the heart of the issue. Alonso opted out of his two-year, $54 million deal and is seeking a long-term commitment, reportedly for seven years. The Mets aren’t sold. Add in defensive concerns, younger talent rising, and owner Steve Cohen calling last winter’s negotiations “exhausting,” and it’s clear why analysts see a split coming.
Red Sox Join Mets In Fierce Battle For Pete Alonso
One AL giant is planting itself right in the middle of Alonso’s free-agency chase. The Mets are still in the mix, but the market around him is shifting, and the team making the loudest early noise sits in Boston.
Alonso’s willingness to slide into a DH role has expanded his value, and it’s giving big-market clubs more room to get aggressive without worrying about defensive fit.
Boston needs a middle-of-the-order hammer, and Pete Alonso checks that box immediately. With the Red Sox expected to push for a major bat, they’re now firmly positioned as one of the top contenders for his next contract, and that could reshape the entire offseason fight for power. For now, the Mets are slipping away with Alonso.
