Oct. 20, 2024, marked the end of the New York Mets' magical season, two wins away from a World Series. It also may have been the end of first baseman Pete Alonso‘s time wearing the only uniform he’s ever known.

LOS ANGELES — In the final days of the regular season and so often through this postseason run, Pete Alonso could wave his bat like a wand and conjure up one more game for the Mets — one more game in which he would play for the Mets. On Sunday, the magic was all gone, and his future became the startling present.
