— MLB News — Source: Gray, Nats reach deal to avoid arbitration Right-hander Josiah Gray and the Nationals avoided salary arbitration when they agreed Friday to a $1.35 million, one-year contract, a source told ESPN’s Jeff Passan. — www.espn.com – MLB — — www.espn.com – MLB: Passan — — RealGM Basketball Wiretap — — Latest MLB News, Scores, Standings, Stats & Rumors | New York Post — — Dodgers Nation — — Baseball – Larry Brown Sports — ![]() Pete Alonso has a fresh new team and also a fresh new jersey number. The five-time MLB All-Star slugger Alonso was officially introduced by the Baltimore Orioles on Friday. Alonso had agreed to a monster five-year contract with the Orioles earlier in the week, leaving his longtime team the New York Mets in order to do so. During his introductory press conference, Alonso put on his new jersey number for Baltimore — No. 25.
In a video feature later in the day on Friday, Alonso shared the reason behind picking No. 25. It is a nod to the year 2025, during which Alonso welcomed his first child (a son named Sonny) with wife Haley.
Alonso had worn No. 20 for his entire MLB career, which began with the Mets in 2019. But the No. 20 is retired in Baltimore in honor of the late Baseball Hall of Famer Frank Robinson. As such, the former MLB home runs leader Alonso will be sporting some new digits in 2026 and beyond for the Orioles. Baltimore’s splashy offseason might not be over yet either as they have also recently been linked to a multi-time All-Star pitcher in free agency. The post Pete Alonso picks an interesting new jersey number with Orioles appeared first on Larry Brown Sports. It’s December 12, 2025 at 02:00PM |
