Part 3/6:
The Giants are on the prowl, intent on making a major impact in 2024 after failing to secure key players like Corbin Burnes. As a historically strong power hitter, Pete Alonzo has been a standout since his rookie debut in 2019, consistently ranking among the top home run hitters. Losing him to a division rival could prove detrimental not only to the team’s performance but also to fan morale.
Known for his impressive demeanor and power hitting—epitomized by his nickname "Polar Bear"—Alonzo holds the MLB Rookie record for the most home runs in a single season, with 53. The prospect of him playing in a hitter-friendly venue like Oracle Park adds a layer of urgency to the Mets’ situation.
