Mets’ Historic Collapse Sparks Uncertain Offseason
The New York Mets endured one of the most devastating collapses in modern MLB history. Once seen as a near-lock for a second straight postseason appearance, their playoff dreams unraveled rapidly as the season wore on. Blowing such a commanding position will likely linger with the club well into the offseason.
Opta Stats highlighted the team’s dramatic skid: “The Mets lost 7 straight in June. They lost 7 straight again in August. They lost 8 straight in September. The only team in MLB history to have three separate 7+ game losing streaks and still make the playoffs was the 2006 Cardinals, who went on to win the World Series.”
Steve Cohen, Juan Soto, and the $342 Million Collapse
Despite the star power and massive payroll, the Mets couldn’t sustain momentum when it mattered most. Team owner Steve Cohen and superstar Juan Soto now face a long winter of questions about direction, chemistry, and leadership.

Pete Alonso’s Future in Question
Amid the chaos, Pete Alonso’s future in New York remains unclear. The slugger has avoided making any long-term commitment to the Mets, though he expressed gratitude toward the organization.
“Playing for this organization, this city — they’ve continued to believe in me. I love playing here. Every single day has been a pleasure putting on the orange and blue. Nothing is guaranteed, but we’ll see what happens — I’ve loved being a Met,” Alonso said.

Boston Red Sox Could Emerge as a Landing Spot
If Alonso parts ways with New York, the Boston Red Sox could be among the strongest suitors. According to Bleacher Report’s Kerry Miller, “While there’s a good chance they either re-sign Bregman or bring in Alonso or Bo Bichette, it’s unlikely they’ll sign more than one from that group.”

A Fresh Start for Alonso?
A move to Boston could rejuvenate Alonso’s career. His power, personality, and work ethic would likely make him an instant favorite at Fenway Park. After years of carrying expectations in New York, a fresh start in Boston could mark the beginning of a defining new chapter — and possibly the place where he finishes his career.
