sad news; Pete Alonso announce his departure from the Mets after sustaining head injury…..

Alonso could be playing the last month for his beloved franchise. A free agent at the end of the World Series, there’s no guarantee he will re-sign with the Mets.

Let’s make this perfectly clear: The right-handed power-hitting first baseman wants a lifetime spot with the Mets at Citi Field, Alonso told Sportico in an interview Wednesday in Phoenix, where the Mets were in the midst of a three-game series with the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Mets won two of three at Chase Field and could have swept the series, leaving them with a 70-64 record, three games out of the last National League Wild Card spot with only 28 games left to play.

“I’d love the idea of spending the rest of my career with the Mets, because it’s a special place,” he said. “This organization has been home to me. It’s been an incredible life experience, an incredible journey.”

But there have been no talks between baseball operations and his agent Scott Boras, at least none that have been made public. As Alonso nears the top of the Mets’ list in all-time home runs, the clock is ticking, and the days are dwindling.
