After reports of a reunion being unlikely between the Mets and Alonso, how will they pivot from a franchise cornerstone?

The Mets made what they perceived as a last-ditch effort to sign Pete Alonso and when that was rejected began their pivot away from their slugging first baseman, The Post has learned.

The New York Mets have made another addition after bringing back Jesse Winker on Thursday. According to ESPN's Jeff Passan, the Mets are signing relief pitcher A.J. Minter to a two-year $22 million deal.
