After their stunning second half collapse, the New York Mets won't be competing in the postseason . The end of first baseman Pete Alonso 's time with the franchise may have come an end as well.

Following the end of the regular season, Alonso announced that he is opting out of his contract and will enter free agency. If his Mets tenure truly is over, he'll have ended his time in Queens hitting .253 with 264 home runs and 712 RBIs. The first baseman was named an All-Star five times, including his last four seasons in New York.

On the open market, Alonso should draw widespread interest . Playing all 162 games for a second straight year, he hit .272 with 38 home runs and 126 RBIs. The batting average was a new career-high, and his power will always be Alonso's calling card.
