Smallson sees the Los Angeles Angels as the best fit for Alonso, as they can add some much-needed power to a lineup that only hit 165 home runs last season, tied for eighth-lowest in MLB.

Because unlike Soto, who will be wearing a Mets uniform when the players start rolling into Port St. Lucie in a few weeks for spring training, there seems to be an increasing chance that Alonso — the popular, homegrown Polar Bear — is going to be spending the rest of his career elsewhere.
