The New York Mets have retained a key piece of their lineup, agreeing to a two-year, $54 million deal with powerhouse first baseman Pete Alonso<\/a>, according to ESPN’s Jeff Passan. Alonso, 30, stays with his original team following a prolonged, drama-filled free agency. A two-time Home Run Derby champion, Alonso has consistently demonstrated his ability to produce impressive power numbers<\/a>.

The deal, pending a physical, includes an opt-out after this season, in which Alonso will earn $30 million.<\/p>\n
