Mets slugger Alonso set for Orioles move: reports
New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso has agreed a five-year $155 million deal to join the Baltimore Orioles, multiple US media reports said Wednesday.
ESPN and USA Today both reported that the 31-year-old slugger was finalising the terms of the blockbuster move to Baltimore.
Alonso, 31, is coming off a dazzling season with the Mets in which he hit 38 home runs, 41 doubles and drove in 126 runs across 162 games.
The first baseman has amassed 264 home runs in seven seasons with the Mets, belting at least 34 runs in each of the last five seasons in New York.
In his debut season in 2019, Alonso, a home-grown fan favourite in New York, clubbed 53 home runs.
Alonso' reported departure continues an offseason of upheaval for the Mets, who had the best record in baseball midway through last season before a dramatic collapse saw them miss out on the playoffs.
The Mets saw star closer Edwin Diaz leave the team on Tuesday, with the reliever joining the Los Angeles Dodgers on a three-year deal.
In November, the team traded away center-fielder Brandon Nimmo to the Texas Rangers for second baseman Marcus Semien.
