Angels emerge as potential contender for Mets slugger Pete Alonso's $152 million deal

The Los Angeles Angels are now considered a potential contender to sign New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso, who is expected to receive a deal worth around $152 million. While the Mets remain the favorites to retain Alonso, the Angels could enter the race if they offer significantly more money. However, analysts suggest that the Angels are not a serious contender for his services. For Alonso to consider the Angels, they would likely need to offer a contract close to $200 million, which is seen as unlikely. The Mets are projected to finalize a deal in the $140 million to $160 million range.
