The New York Mets reportedly agreed to re-sign first baseman Pete Alonso to a two-year, $54 million deal on Wednesday, keeping a fan favorite in New York.

The Mets are now loaded with star potential at the top of the order, headlined by Francisco Lindor, Juan Soto and Alonso.

And the rest of the potential batting lineup isn't too shabby either:

The Mets, as currently constructed, won't be cheap. Per Spotrac, the team is now looking at a tax payroll of right around $322 million, trailing only the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The luxury tax bill will be a projected $62.5 million, per Spotrac, still well short of the Dodgers' $128.3 million.

New York largely cut payroll in advance of the 2024 season and it seemed like the team was prepared for a soft rebuild. But the Mets exceeded expectations, reaching the NLCS, and the team hasn't wasted any time in splashing major cash to put a contender together ahead of the 2025 campaign.

Alongside the record-setting Soto contract, the team also signed A.J. Minter, Clay Holmes and Frankie Montas and and re-signed Sean Manea, Ryne Stanek and Jesse Winker. The Mets have been busy, and the return of Alonso will be very popular in Queens.
