After striking out in free agency, the Mets brought first baseman Pete Alonso back on a so-called "pillow contract," a two-year, $54 million deal that allows him to test free agency again this winter if he has a strong season.

New York Mets slugger Pete Alonso went into the last offseason with no clarity on his long-term future, but has emerged through the first six weeks of the season as the undisputed top hitter in the National League. Now, Alonso could be on to an even bigger title by the end of the year.

Pete Alonso continues to crush opposing pitchers, hitting monster homers, but there is something else about him that has struck Franicsco Lindor.
