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.

New York Mets owner Steve Cohen, top baseball operations executive David Stearns, and manager Carlos Mendoza held a forum during the team's fan fest event on Saturday. Predictably, the group was met with "We want Pete" chants from onlookers hoping to persuade the braintrust into entering a new agreement with longtime first baseman and current free agent Pete Alonso.

Mets owner Steve Cohen got real on the failed negotiation talks with free agent !B and former Met Pete Alonso.
