“I love it here,” Alonso said. “I definitely have envisioned me being a lifelong Met, that’s something I’ve definitely thought about. I love New York, it’s a really special place for my family and I … But I can’t predict the future. For me, I just want to focus on this season and be the best person I can be.”
The three-time All-Star switched agents during the offseason to Scott Boras, who is known for encouraging his players to test the market. The first baseman signed a $20.5 million, one-year deal that avoided salary arbitration.
“I just thought that Scott and his team are just the best representations for myself and my family,” Alonso said.
