Teams would kill to sign him, especially teams like the Dodgers or Yankees that would be happy to further strengthen their bullpen.

Alonso is a first baseman lol
Yankees already have Rice and Goldschmidt, though Goldie was only a one year signing but regardless, Pete isn’t gonna be a part timer so now you have 3 guys for first baseman, still 2 if Goldie’s gone and sitting Rice regularly would be dumb.
Rice could be the regular catcher but I’m not sure they’d have Wells as a full on back up, unless he agrees to do so. Rice is easily the better player but Wells is also not a terrible catcher, though his batting average is not great. I suppose if Wells agrees to be back up and knows he’d sit a lot more, it could work, cuz they’d be stupid to sit Rice often.
Goldschmidt is also a great player, you don’t want to be sitting him regularly throughout the year so even if they kept him, sitting one of the best players to keep Alonso who is also great on first regularly….that would be silly.
If they Yankees could make it work I’d be all over that, it would be great to have him, it’s just a matter of how to work it.
Dodgers have Freeman for 1B, no way they’d be replacing him, that would be silly.
