New York Mets' Pete Alonso could be a free agent at the end of the season. While there have been rumors around where Alonso could land in free agency, the 30-year-old infielder dropped a hint about his future with the Mets on Monday.

SNY shared an X video in which Alonso mentioned it would be "really special" to stay with the Mets long-term. However, he also mentioned that a lot of things happen business-wise and there is no guarantee at this time.

"I mean if it works out, you know," Alonso said on staying with the Mets. "I mean it would be really special to. But again, there is like a lot of things that happen business-wise, and a lot of unpredictable things happen in free agency.

"I mean this time around, like last year, there is no guarantee... It's a great team. A great group of guys. We'll see what happens. Nothing is guaranteed."
