Getty ImagesSteve Cohen: Mets won’t see 2023 trade deadline impact for two yearsIt was the fifth homer in seven games for Alonso, who said he was unaware whether the Mets had shopped him before the trade deadline.
Before the game, general manager Billy Eppler declined to say if he viewed Alonso — who can head to free agency after next season — as part of the organization’s future. “We love having Pete here,” Eppler said. “As far as what goes beyond his last year of control I am going to keep those conversations internal, but he is such a strong player for this organization and he means so much to the community and our identity. Between him and Francisco [Lindor] and Brandon [Nimmo], these are guys we rely on, they are tremendous people and great players, great teammates.”
