Pete Alonso, the All-Star first baseman for the New York Mets, is projected to decline his current player option while securing a more lucrative deal. After returning to the team last offseason, he appears set to remain in New York under improved contract terms.

In an unusual defensive breakdown, the Mets committed three errors for the first time this season, clouding their series opener against the Fish. The mishaps proved costly, setting a frustrating tone for the team as they attempt to regroup in the coming games.

Pete Alonso, opting out of the Home Run Derby, showcased his immense power during Tuesday’s MLB All-Star Game in Atlanta with a critical three-run homer. His swing provided the National League with the separation it needed against the American League.
