By signing a short-term deal with the New York Mets, Pete Alonso is likely to face problems in free agency next offseason, according to analyst Chris Rose.

The baseball world has mostly celebrated the Mets re-signing first baseman Pete Alonso — Not MLB analyst Chris Rose. In a social media post published shortly after news broke that Alonso was headed back to Queens on a two-year, $54 million contract with an option, Rose revealed why he’s “worried” for the homegrown Met.

Spring training starts in a few days, but there is still some MLB offseason business to tackle. A handful of notable players remain on the free-agent market, including Alex Bregman. Pete Alonso finally came off the board on Feb.

If appointed, John Seidler will simultaneously succeed Matt Seidler as trustee and Eric Kutsenda as Padres chairman. Seidler, 65, could soon oversee a team that won 93 games last season and took the eventual World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers to the brink in the National League Division Series.

John is the eldest brother of the late Peter Seidler, who was the principal owner of the Padres for the last few years before his death in 2023
