rewrite this title Pete Alonso to cash in after Vladimir Guerrero lands $500 million deal

Pete Alonso sounded excited about Vlad Guerrero’s $500M, 14-year mega deal, and it’s surely a general boost for their slugging, first-base brethren, which is nice.

But does it actually aid Alonso? That’s less certain.

The Mets’ star clearly is headed back to free agency — exercising his opt-out is basically a fait accompli — so get ready for a second winter of free-agency drama.

But while Alonso’s almost guaranteed to do much better in Round Two, it has little to do with Guerrero.
