Pete Alonso finds new club as Orioles pull off major deal.
00:05
The Baltimore Orioles, stung by a frustrating 75-87 finish in 2025,
00:10
just sent a shockwave through the American League by landing highly sought-after Pete Alonso.
00:15
After months of speculation, false starts, and rejected overtures, Baltimore landed its marquee bat.
00:21
Pete Alonso is heading to Camden Yards.
00:25
ESPN's Jeff Passan reported a five-year, $155 million deal
00:29
that sets the highest average annual value ever for a first baseman.
00:34
This was not just a signing, it was a declaration of intent.
00:38
Long viewed as conservative and prospect protective, the front office finally swung big.
00:43
Coming off a bounce-back 2025 with 38 home runs, a National League lead in doubles,
00:48
a .272 average, and an .871 OPS,
00:51
the 30-year-old who bet on himself and New York cashed in.
00:55
Long known as the heart of the New York Mets lineup,
00:58
and one of the most feared right-handed power hitters in the game,
01:01
Alonso arrives as a centerpiece.
01:04
He represents a serious upgrade.
01:06
For the Orioles, Alonso's signing fills the middle of the lineup void left by Kyle Schwarber's departure,
01:12
providing veteran presence and consistent power.
01:15
His arrival likely makes Kobe Mayo and Ryan Mountcastle expendable
01:19
and could create a timeshare with Samuel Basalo,
01:23
though Alonso will be the everyday first baseman.
01:26
Strategically slotted in the cleanup spot,
01:28
he will protect Basalo or catcher Adley Rutschman,
01:31
who struggled in 2025 with a .220 average,
01:34
potentially easing pressure and improving pitch quality for Rutschman.
01:38
The Orioles, long criticized for hoarding prospects instead of pursuing immediate success,
01:44
signal a new win-now approach with Pete Alonso's signing.
01:47
In a division with the high-spending Yankees and analytically strong Rays,
01:51
Alonso won't solve every problem,
01:53
but the Orioles' playoff relevance may hinge on this strategic gamble.
01:57
They've secured their marquee player.
01:59
Now the real test begins.
02:00
We'll see you next time.
