"The MLB's Winter Meetings have provided several huge signings already, and another big development came on Wednesday. All-Star first baseman Pete Alonso reportedly signed a five-year, $155 million deal with the Baltimore Orioles, becoming the second New York Met to avoid re-signing with the team in as many days. With one of the biggest bats in the league now missing from the lineup, MLB insider Jon Morosi named Cody Bellinger as a player who could potentially fill Alonso's spot in the lineup in Queens."
"Bellinger returned to top form after leaving the Dodgers, batting well above league average in all three of the seasons he's played since LA non-tendered him. He's slashing .281/.338/.477 across those three seasons, and has placed Top 15 in MVP voting twice. In 2025, Bellinger hit 29 home runs and drove in 98 RBIs, both of which were his most since his MVP season in 2019."
Pete Alonso signed a five-year, $155 million deal with the Baltimore Orioles, leaving the Mets without one of their biggest bats. MLB insider Jon Morosi identified Cody Bellinger as a potential replacement in the Mets lineup. Bellinger is a free agent and a Scott Boras client who spent his first six MLB seasons with the Los Angeles Dodgers. Bellinger has hit well since leaving the Dodgers, slashing .281/.338/.477 across three seasons and finishing Top 15 in MVP voting twice. In 2025 he hit 29 home runs and drove in 98 RBIs. The Dodgers lost Michael Conforto to free agency and remain linked to a Bellinger return. Boras said Bellinger enjoyed his time in Los Angeles and would welcome going back.
