1. New York Mets
Pete Alonso's most likely destination remains the team that helped his rise to prominence. The New York Mets haven't been shy about spending money, with the caveat that it must lead to wins. This year's run to the NLCS is the validation the Mets' brass needed to support Alonso is worth the investment.

5. St. Louis Cardinals
The St. Louis Cardinals haven't been shy about investing in their lineup, but their personnel decisions haven't helped them regain their former glory. That's where Pete Alonso can help. Paul Goldschmidt is back in the free agent pool, and after a few under-productive seasons in St. Louis, both parties could be looking for a fresh start. Alonso could be the hard-hitting first baseman the Cardinals thought they were getting with Goldschmidt.
4. Houston Astros
Most players would choose championship potential over a massive payday, but the Houston Astros check both boxes. Moreover, they have a gaping hole at first base that journeyman Jon Singleton filled last season. Pete Alonso is the upgrade the Astros need to rekindle their championship aspirations, and they have the deep pockets to make it happen.
3. Washington Nationals
After developing and trading away some of the best players in baseball, the Washington Nationals are trying to re-assert themselves as World Series contenders. Pete Alonso doesn't get them there himself, but the Nats could be tempted into a free-agent shopping spree to expedite their rebuild. Still, Alonso is at the top of their list.
2. New York Yankees
With the impending departure of Juan Soto, it seems increasingly likely that the New York Yankees will have a massive hole in their batting order. However, Pete Alonso could step into Soto's spot in the lineup with similar production at a discounted rate. If Soto signs elsewhere, expect the Yankees to push hard for Alonso.
