MLB Rumors: Top 5 Free Agent Landing Spots For Pete Alonso
New York Yankees
The Yankees have been searching for stability at first base, and Pete Alonso could be the perfect solution. Alonso would give Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton a formidable partner in the middle of the order. Adding him would also sting the Mets, making this a rare chance to strike a blow in the New York rivalry.
New York Mets
Despite Alonso opting out, the Mets remain one of the top candidates to retain him. Steve Cohen has the financial muscle, but the front office is facing tough choices with pitching upgrades badly needed. If they feel confident in their younger infield depth, they might let Alonso walk, but keeping their longtime slugger would keep the fans onside and ensure the lineup remains dangerous.
Texas Rangers
The Rangers had one of baseball’s best pitching staffs in 2025, but their offense faltered. Jake Burger didn’t pan out at first base, and the team desperately needs a reliable run producer. Alonso’s consistent power bat could be the missing piece to balance their roster. With a chance to reassert themselves in a stacked AL West, Texas may decide that Alonso is worth the investment.
Seattle Mariners
Pete Alonso could be their move if they can't bring back Josh Naylor. The Mariners have already shown a willingness to make bold moves, and Alonso’s power would slot perfectly into their lineup. If they don’t go deep in October, the front office might feel pressure to secure a long-term middle-of-the-order threat.
Boston Red Sox
Boston’s infield situation is uncertain, especially with Triston Casas’ health still a question mark and Alex Bregman’s future up in the air. The Red Sox have the payroll flexibility to make a splash, and Alonso would immediately add stability and star power.
