With the support of owner Steve Cohen, the Mets stole Juan Soto from the Yankees with a historic 15-year, $765 million deal. He also added pitching depth, signing right-handers Frankie Montas and Clay Holmes to short-term deals, and he poached left-hander A.J. Minter from the Atlanta Braves among other moves.

Pete Alonso remains unsigned and as spring training approaches, he may end up signing a less lucrative deal and try his luck in free agency again next. If that is the case, a surprise American League team could land him.
