The Mets seek Willson Contreras to replace Pete Alonso, exploring a trade amid their roster overhaul.

The New York Mets are pursuing St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Willson Contreras as part of their offseason roster overhaul, seeking a right-handed hitter to replace Pete Alonso. Contreras, 33, is reportedly willing to waive his no-trade clause and has shown strong offensive and defensive performance at first base, according to analytics. The Mets are also considering outfielder Lars Nootbaar, though his health and recent decline raise questions. No trade has been finalized, and the team’s front office continues evaluating options.
