The New York Mets have been trying to re-sign Pete Alonso, but his free agency continues to drag on. As more time passes, a new team could make a move on Alonso.

It is conceivable that Baty and Acuña alone could replace Alonso's home runs, which is to say nothing of what they stand to gain from their new center fielder. That is Jose Siri, who hit as many homers on his own last season (18) as the Mets got from all their center fielders.
