A divorce seems probable after the Mets began moving on last week, with the belief that Alonso will be signing elsewhere. The team has since re-signed Jesse Winker and Thursday officially announced lefty A.J. Minter’s addition to the bullpen. The buzz surrounding Alonso, meanwhile, has been minimal.
