Pete Alonso Announces Plan for Retirement as $24 Million Mets Decision Nears originally appeared on Athlon Sports. New York Mets star Pete Alonso has been everything a team could ask from a No. 64 draft pick, which is where they selected him in 2016. The 30-year-old is already one of the best Mets players ever, and he has plenty left in the tank.

The Mets did not record a run after the second inning and did not record a hit after the fourth in what became a 3-2 loss to the Guardians on Tuesday.

Pete Alonso hit his 251st career homer Monday night to pull within one of Darryl Strawberry's New York Mets franchise record, but the Cleveland Guardians earned a 7-6, 10-inning win after squandering a five-run lead.
