Scott Boras is running a decade-old playbook as he tries to secure a long-term contract for former New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso, but the league has gotten wise over the last few years.

In terms of how the Mets might be looking beyond Alonso, Jesse Winker was re-signed last week, filling another hole on the position-player side. The New York Post’s Joel Sherman wrote that the Mets asked both Mark Vientos and Brett Baty to start working out at first base, with Baty also getting some reps as a second baseman.
