The New York Yankees were reported to be early suitors for free agent Pete Alonso, but the slugger's agent Scott Boras was the main obstacle, a new report says.

Despite multiple teams showing interest in Pete Alonso, the New York Yankees chose not to pursue him due to ambitious market expectations set by his agent, Scott Boras. Alonso is also considering a return to the New York Mets or joining the Toronto Blue Jays.

Scott Boras seems to be failing to sign Pete Alonso with the Mets. An MLB analyst claims Alonso will fire Boras if he moves away from Queens.
