At this point, after Vladdy’s interview, Atkins has to figure out what they are doing with him before they worry about signing anyone else.
Are they comfortable going to $500m? That’s probably what it will take to get him signed right now. If they aren’t they have to move him now. Most teams already have their 1B options locked up.
I could see the Mets waiting to see what will happen with Vladdy, before turning to Alonso.
I would prefer to see Vladdy signed long term, but if they can’t sort it out soon, they have to move him.
