NEW YORK — First baseman Pete Alonso is staying with the New York Mets, agreeing to a $54 million, two-year contract, a person familiar with the deal told The Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity Wednesday night because the agreement, first reported by The New York Post, was subject to a successful physical.

After the New York Mets reportedly offered Pete Alonso $70 million, the door is still open for now for the Toronto Blue Jays to secure his services.
