The Mets, according to sources, are of the belief Alonso will sign elsewhere. The Post’s Joel Sherman reported on Thursday that Alonso declined a three-year offer from the team that would have paid in the $68 to $70 million range.

As the MLB offseason continues, the Mets, led by owner Steve Cohen, appear to be pivoting, with free agent Pete Alonso likely not returning.

In need of a left-handed relief presence, the team on Friday reached agreement with A.J. Minter on a two-year contract worth $22 million, an industry source confirmed. The deal includes an opt-out after the first season.
