IS IT DONE: New York Mets Star Pete Alonso Stuns Fans and Leaves Head Coach Carlos Mendoza Speechless with Major Announcement Concerning…

 

In a dramatic moment that sent shockwaves through the baseball world, New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso made a headline-grabbing announcement Saturday night, leaving fans electrified and Mets manager Carlos Mendoza visibly stunned.

 

Following a thrilling walk-off home run that capped the Mets’ 7–6 victory over the Atlanta Braves, Alonso took the microphone during the postgame celebration and said just six words that lit up the stadium:

 

“This might be my last year.”

 

Gasps rippled through Citi Field as the All-Star slugger, currently in the final guaranteed year of his contract, hinted at a possible end to his time in New York — or perhaps baseball entirely.

 

“It’s Not About the Money Anymore”

Alonso, 30, clarified in the locker room that the comment was not a retirement announcement — but rather an emotional response to a season that’s “taken everything out of me.”

 

“I love New York. I love this team. But at some point, you have to ask yourself what comes next. Right now, I’m not sure,” he told reporters postgame.

 

The first baseman’s deal includes an opt-out after this season, sparking rampant speculation about whether he’s preparing to test free agency or potentially walk away from the game on his own terms.

 

Mendoza Caught Off Guard

Head coach Carlos Mendoza, when asked about Alonso’s comments, was briefly at a loss for words.

 

“I… I didn’t see that coming,” Mendoza said, pausing before continuing. “Pete means everything to this clubhouse. We support him no matter what, but I hope we’re not near the end.”

 

Insiders say Mendoza and GM David Stearns were not previously aware of Alonso’s intention to make such a statement publicly.

 

Fanbase in Shock, Supportive

Social media erupted in response. “#Don’tGoPete” trended nationwide within an hour. Mets legend David Wright even chimed in, tweeting, “Pete’s heart has always been in the right place. If this is the end of an era, what a run it’s been.”

 

For now, Alonso remains focused on finishing the season strong. He leads the team in home runs, RBIs, and — as always — emotional leadership.

 

But with his future uncertain, fans are left to wonder: Is it really done
