The New York Mets have spent a lot of money this offseason, which made re-signing first baseman Pete Alonso a bit of an uphill climb. Well, Mets fans can take a deep sigh of relief. Alonso is officially back.

Pete Alonso's long wait in free agency finally came to an end Wednesday night when the All-Star first baseman agreed to return to the New York Mets on a two-year deal.

As a winter storm is set to hit to hit New York City, it’s fitting that the “Polar Bear” is returning to the Big Apple. Pete Alonso, the New York Mets’ beloved first baseman, will be back with the team for the upcoming season after an offseason contract negotiation that seemed dead before a recent revival.
