Mets struggle at first base after losing Pete Alonso to Orioles

The New York Mets are navigating a challenging first base situation following Pete Alonso's departure to the Baltimore Orioles. Alonso signed a five-year deal after setting a franchise home run record, while the Mets signed Jorge Polanco to a two-year, $40 million contract. Polanco's performance has underwhelmed, resulting in a -1.4 bWAR and.431 OPS in 37 games. Alonso is excelling with 35 home runs and 100 RBIs in his first season with the Orioles, raising questions about the Mets' decision-making. The Mets' first base position has turned into a revolving door as they move forward.
