Part 5/7:

As the offseason unfolds, several teams have reportedly expressed interest in Alonzo, including the Mariners, Rangers, Angels, Cubs, Red Sox, and Giants. Each team presents its own considerations and constraints regarding payroll and fit within their current rosters.

For example, while the Mariners might seem like a potential fit, significant financial limitations cast doubt on their ability to pursue Alonzo aggressively. The situation is similar for the Rangers, who appear content with their recent roster moves.

Thus, the question arises: Are any of these teams genuinely positioned to make a compelling offer that would sway Alonzo away from the Mets? If the answer is no, it indicates that the Mets still hold the upper hand in negotiations.
