Star first baseman Pete Alonso learned the hard lesson that baseball is a business after the New York Mets offered him a contract that's nothing short of disrespectful

After the four-time All-Star rejected it, they set their sights on adding a top-tier reliever and potentially executing a trade for Toronto Blue Jays slugger Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
