The two-time Home Run Derby champion is just 26 home runs from tying Darryl Strawberry’s franchise home run record (252), which the Mets expect Alonso to break this season. If he continues on his career home run pace, he’ll be known as the greatest Met power hitter in the team’s history.

Slugging first baseman Pete Alonso agreed to a two-year, $54 million with New York Mets that includes an opt-out after the first year, finally re-signing with the team that drafted him after a drawn-out winter of negotiations, according to a person with knowledge of the deal.
