With the support of owner Steve Cohen, the Mets stole Juan Soto from the Yankees with a historic 15-year, $765 million deal. He also added pitching depth, signing right-handers Frankie Montas and Clay Holmes to short-term deals, and he poached left-hander A.J. Minter from the Atlanta Braves among other moves.

"Although it's not a guarantee that Alonso is about to sign with the Blue Jays, the Mets should be ready to pivot," Germinaro wrote. "A guy that the Mets should trade for as their replacement for Alonso is Baltimore Orioles first baseman Ryan Mountcastle."

Lucky fans will get to meet some of their favorite players at Amazin' Day, and plenty of them hope Pete Alonso is one of them.
