The New York Mets are still waiting out Pete Alonso, but that hasn't stopped David Stearns from keeping busy. On Wednesday the team re-signed a key piece of its 2024 postseason run, agreeing with Ryne Stanek on a one-year deal.

Pete Alonso's free agency has lasted significantly longer than anyone expected. When the offseason began, Alonso was considered a shoo-in to re-sign with the New York Mets, the only team he's ever known.

The only reason we’re having this conversation two weeks after the Mets' pivot is that Pete Alonso has not yet found a home with another team.

New York Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner admitted that "it's difficult" for MLB team owners to compete with the Los Angeles Dodgers' spending, but also believes his team is better than it was at this time last year.

During a Tuesday appearance on YES Network's "Yankees Hot Stove" program, team owner Hal Steinbrenner made quite a bold claim about his current squad compared to the one that completed a trip to the 2024 World Series, where the Yankees fell to the Los Angeles Dodgers in five games.

No one in the projected lineup should come close to replicating Soto but Steinbrenner pointed to improvements in defense, pitching and more.
