After last winter’s drama that ultimately saw him return to the Mets on a two-year, $54 million deal, Pete Alonso is humming all cylinders in 2025 — and the odometer that is tracking his next payday continues to rise with each passing mile.

While speaking to media ahead of the 2025 MLB All-Star Game, Alonso, who is making his his fifth All-Star appearance, suggested that players should not get ejected for charging the mound or fighting. Instead, he believes MLB should follow hockey's style, which tolerates fighting to happen between players during games.
