Major League Baseball trade deadline proved to be fruitful for the New York Mets. Though the Mets didn't wind up acquiring any 2024 All-Stars, one rental piece that they brought in played a solid role as an extra left-handed bat.

Alonso came up to the Major Leagues with the Mets in 2019 and won the NL Rookie of the Year award after hitting 53 home runs. The four-time All-Star hit just .240 last year, but also hit 34 home runs, drove in 88 runs, reached base at a .329 clip and slugged .459 with a 123 OPS+.

The New York Mets could swoop in and sign star free agent Tanner Scott out from under the San Diego Padres' nose.
