Pete Alonso , the Mets' all-time leader in home runs, is headed to Baltimore. The man known as the Polar Bear agreed to a five-year, $155 million deal with the Orioles on Wednesday, a source told MLB.com's Mark Feinsand . The club has not confirmed the news.

Alonso, who has the third-most home runs in the Majors since his 2019 debut season (264) strengthens an O's lineup that already possesses Gunnar Henderson , Adley Rutschman , Taylor Ward , Jordan Westburg , Jackson Holliday and more.
