It is predicted that the New York Mets, who are virtually out of contract negotiations with Pete Alonso, will actively make a trade offer to Toronto to bring Guerrero as an alternative. The Mets agreed to a one-year contract with internal FA outfielder Jesse Winker on the 17th (Korea time), hinting at a break-up with Alonso.
In this regard, SNY reporter Andy Martino 'Metz predicts Alonso will leave. There may be no way to be confident in the trade to buy Guerrero, but the Mets are sure to make the most of their effortsThe Blue Jays will not pursue a trade because they are trying to tie Guerrero to an extended contract.
Toronto's priority is an extension contract with Guerrero, who will become an FA after this season, and in that case, the Mets will not have a proper way to bring him. In this regard, Newsweek advised that the Mets must offer a trade to hand over third baseman Mark Vientos, shortstop Jet Williams and right-hander Jonah Tong in order to bring Guerrero back stably.
Vientos showed off his formidable batting skills by playing 111 games last year and marking a batting average of 0.266 (110 hits in 413 times at bat), 27 homers, 71 RBIs, 58 runs and an OPS of 0.837. As a third baseman, he is now a resource that can take the lead in any team. In order to get Guerrero, the Mets must basically give up Vientos and add two prospects to achieve a trade balance.

In response, New York Post columnist John Hayman said on the same day that the Blue Jays were under intense pressure to sign an extension with Guerrero before it was too late"'Blue Jays, which must definitely tie up superstar Guerrero, who holds Canadian citizenship, must conclude before Feb. 19 when spring training opens,' it said in an article titled '
On the condition that Guerrero can accept Toronto's extension contract, Guerrero reportedly wants more than $400 million and close to $500 million (about 729.2 billion won) after watching Juan Soto's contract. There is a lot of supply in the first baseman market, but he predicted that the player who will be most affected by the Soto contract will be the player.
In other words, negotiations on the extension contract can begin only when Toronto offers a condition of at least $400 million. Guerrero previously rejected the Toronto club's $340 million offer in December last year. At the time, Guerrero said "It's not at all close to the level we want it to be". Toronto offered $150 million for seven years shortly after Guerrero marked 48 home runs, 111 RBIs and an OPS of 1.002 in 2021, but this was also rejected.

Apart from his extended contract with Guerrero, Toronto will also work on recruiting Alonso, who has virtually parted ways with the Mets. The Athletic says a contract with Alonso does not mean a trade to Guerrero. Toronto has a plan to use Alonso at first base and move Guerrero to third base or designated hitter.
According to Heyman, Alonso recently proposed a three-year, $93.3 million option with opt-out rights, but the Mets proposed a three-year contract with $68 million to $70 million and revised it to opt-out rights, which eventually broke down negotiations.
