Through his first 25 games of the season, Alonso is tied for second in the MLB in RBI, with 26. He's also fifth in batting average, at .341, second in OPS (on-base plus slugging) at 1.122, and tied for third in WAR (wins above replacement) at +1.8.

The New York Mets slugger will "almost surely opt out" and a new contract could be unaffordable for his long-time team.

Afterward, Carlos Mendoza called Alonso “probably the best in the game” at scooping balls in the dirt at first base.
