A look at the teams and players in great shape, those poised for a winning winter and others with plenty of shopping remaining: New York Yankees ... with the division all improved around them. Pete Alonso: Uh, anybody need a dude who posted three 40 ...

The New York Mets have become four-time All-Star Pete Alonso's top landing spot after the New York Yankees signed five-time Silver Slugger Paul Goldschmidt.

The Yankees continue to cast a wide net in their search for more offensive production in free agency following the departure of Juan Soto.

A New York Mets insider details the major signs why Pete Alonso re-signing this offseason is looking as likely as ever.

Alonso's production would be valuable behind Soto, but contract length could be the sticking point of a new deal.
