PORT ST. LUCIE — Pete Alonso waited for the Mets to call this winter about a long-term contract, but only heard silence. 

There was discussion between team officials and his representatives about Alonso’s contract for this year that will pay him $20.5 million, but the long term was not broached, the All-Star first baseman said Saturday. 

“I have been sitting back and listening and the only contract matters that we talked about were my one-year contract this year,” Alonso said after a workout at Clover Park. “I am very happy I am back with this group and I am stoked to get this year going and it’s an exciting time in spring.” 

Last week, Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns said the likely outcome will be Alonso playing out this season and reaching free agency. 

Alonso and his agent, Scott Boras, have indicated a willingness to talk long-term deal, and that stance evidently won’t change because of the calendar.

Unlike many players entering their walk year, Alonso said he isn’t setting Opening Day as a deadline for negotiations. 

If the Mets want to talk during the season, Alonso will listen. 

“There’s no real standard — I am just sitting back and listening,” Alonso said. “There’s no pressure. But I can’t reiterate enough, my whole focus in spring training is to prepare so I can be best the version of myself during the season.” 

Alonso, 29, didn’t waver from his statements last year when asked about his allegiance to the organization. 

“I love it here,” he said. “I definitely have envisioned being a lifelong Met — that is something that I have definitely thought about. I love New York, it’s a special place for my family and I definitely thought about the idea and would welcome the idea, but I can’t predict the future. I just want to focus on the season.” 

Among first basemen, Freddie Freeman (six years, $162 million) and Paul Goldschmidt (five years, $130 million) have set the recent market in free agency. 

Alonso has blasted 192 homers over his five major league seasons, MLB’s highest total over that stretch.

Last year, he had a .217/.318/.504 slash line with 46 homers and 118 RBIs for a team that underperformed and was dismantled after the All-Star break, with Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander, among others, traded for prospects. 

Alonso’s name surfaced later as somebody who had been discussed between the Mets and at least one other team at the trade deadline.

So it’s highly possible that if the Mets fall from contention in the first half this season, Alonso will be traded. 

“That is a lot to think about,” Alonso said when asked if he had given consideration to the possibility. “I just had my first live BP session.” 

Likewise, Alonso said he hasn’t given thought to whether the Mets will make a serious bid to sign him in free agency. 

His goals for this season include continuing his defensive improvement — he was MLB-average last season, according to Statcast, after previously lagging in that area — and improving his plate discipline. 

“I thought I did a real good job of hitting fastballs in the zone,” Alonso said. “But one thing I didn’t do a real good job of was my chase rate, which was higher than I would like it to be.

“I know I didn’t necessarily strike out as much as I have in the past, but I want to cut down on chase, maximize damage in the zone.” 

The Mets went small in free agency — the largest contract they handed out after missing on Japanese ace Yoshinobu Yamamoto was a two-year contract worth $28 million to Sean Manaea — but Alonso wouldn’t say if he was surprised by the lack of sizzle this winter. 

“That seems like a question for the front office,” Alonso said. “I just play here.”
