Pete Alonso Next Team Odds: Where Does the Polar Bear Play in 2026?

Star slugger Pete Alonso has spent his entire seven-year MLB career with the New York Mets, but after the Mets missed the playoffs this year, Alonso confirmed he will exercise the opt-out provision in his contract and head to free agency for the second straight season.
Last winter, Alonso was on the free-agent market for a long time before he finally re-signed with the Mets. However, there is a feeling that the "Polar Bear" could make a move to another squad.
With free agency soon underway, Bookies.com veteran oddsmaker Adam Thompson has created MLB odds for Alonso’s next home team.

Where Will Pete Alonso Land in 2026?
While Alonso lingered on the free agent market deep into last year's offseason, it's expected he will generate more interest this winter after another strong year at the plate, and without the burden of a qualifying offer attached to him.
Still, the New York Mets are the favorites to bring him back. Despite missing the playoffs, the Mets are still a very strong team, and they have the talent and the financial backing to bounce back in 2026. If Alonso wants to finish what he started, a return to the Mets makes sense.
The Boston Red Sox are also a team that could sign Alonso. The Red Sox didn't get much production from their first base position last year, and signing Alonso is basically a guarantee of 30+ homers from the first base spot.
The San Francisco Giants missed the playoffs last year and are expected to be big spenders this offseason in free agency. They were linked to Alonso last offseason before he returned to the Mets. Now, they make another run at Alonso and add him to their infield.
The New York Yankees were blown out by the Toronto Blue Jays in the playoffs this year, and big changes are coming to The Big Apple. That includes a potential new first baseman as veteran Paul Goldschmidt is unlikely to be re-signed. Alonso has already been used to the spotlight of playing in New York, and he would make a natural fit for the Yankees, who could use his thump at 1B.
The Chicago Cubs got a great season out of Michael Busch at first base, but Alonso has a more proven track record and would no doubt be a big signing if the Cubs were able to land him.

The Texas Rangers had a bad season, missing the playoffs and firing Bruce Bochy as their manager. Changes are coming, and a new first baseman is one of them. Alonso would bring massive thunder to the Rangers' lineup, potentially hitting 40+ homers for their team.
The Seattle Mariners are one of the best teams in MLB, but their first baseman, Josh Naylor, is a free agent on his own, so they could be in the market to sign someone else, such as Alonso.
The Arizona Diamondbacks missed the playoffs by a few games this year, and if they are trying to get back to the playoffs, inking a big home run hitter like Alonso would really help them out.
Of course, The Field is always a possibility to sign Alonso, because who wouldn't want his power?
