Signing Pete Alonso to that two-year, $54M deal (plus opt-out) might be the smartest thing the Mets did. But considering the difficulty the Mets had forging a deal with their beloved slugger in winter, it’s a long shot to extend him in season. One more complication: If the annual salary on a long deal would be, conservatively, $5M more — say $35M instead of $30M — that’d cost the Mets $10.
