Major League Baseball teams report to spring training in less than a month and there are still plenty of big name free agents on the market. Pete Alonso, Anthony Santander, and Tanner Scott are just a few of the All-Stars still looking for new homes as the offseason winds down.

For free agents, spring training is something of a soft signing deadline. No one wants to be without a job when camp opens. Free agents want to know where they're playing, where they're going to live,

The longtime Met is still available halfway through January. We compare him to past first basemen to see if he's worth a big deal.

Sal Licata can’t believe the Mets and Pete Alonso still haven’t agreed on a deal, and wonders if the team even wants its homegrown slugger back.

At some point the Mets either have to hear that Alonso is willing to accept their financial view of him or will get more aggressive elsewhere, probably pretty soon.

Alonso remains the top power hitter available, but as a first baseman with little value outside of his bat, his market has not developed as he hoped. Most recently, the four-time All-Star’s camp extended an exclusive offer to the Mets, believed to be for three years with a high average annual value.

New York Mets slugger Pete Alonso was recently predicted to sign a contract worth nearly $100 million over three years.

But quietly, the Mets brought back left-hander Sean Manaea, which could go a long way towards shoring up the pitching staff. The 33-year-old Manaea had a fantastic season in New York, learning a new arm slot and becoming the most reliable starter in the Mets' rotation.
