Smallson sees the Los Angeles Angels as the best fit for Alonso, as they can add some much-needed power to a lineup that only hit 165 home runs last season, tied for eighth-lowest in MLB.

Because unlike Soto, who will be wearing a Mets uniform when the players start rolling into Port St. Lucie in a few weeks for spring training, there seems to be an increasing chance that Alonso — the popular, homegrown Polar Bear — is going to be spending the rest of his career elsewhere.

Former New York Mets general manager Steve Phillips says Pete Alonso would be "great fit" for the Toronto Blue Jays, who could also pursue Alex Bregman.
