The Mets held their first winter event for fans in five years at Citi Field on Saturday, and Pete Alonso was a notable absence.

Whether or not Mets fans will have another opportunity to cheer on Pete Alonso is still very much up in the air.

With the support of owner Steve Cohen, the Mets stole Juan Soto from the Yankees with a historic 15-year, $765 million deal. He also added pitching depth, signing right-handers Frankie Montas and Clay Holmes to short-term deals, and he poached left-hander A.J. Minter from the Atlanta Braves among other moves.
