Mets let Pete Alonso go, struggling to replace his production

The New York Mets opted not to re-sign Pete Alonso, who has joined the Baltimore Orioles. Alonso, the Mets' all-time home runs leader, had a strong tenure in New York, missing only 27 games over seven seasons. The Mets signed Jorge Polanco to fill the first base position, but he has missed 56 games and has only one home run. With additional struggles from Bo Bichette and Mark Vientos, the Mets' first base situation has become a significant concern. Alonso's absence is proving problematic as the Mets navigate a disappointing season after extensive offseason changes.
