If Jose Reyes were in charge of the Mets, he tells TMZ Sports he'd sign Pete Alonso to a career-long contract ... and not blink twice!!

The New York Mets won the Pete Alonso sweepstakes in free agency last season, but the slugger is expected to opt out of his deal again and pursue a longer one.

Radio broadcaster Howie Rose read a heartfelt speech, highlighting Alonso’s 53 first-year home runs and postseason heroics. A special video tribute — narrated by Strawberry — then played on the jumbotron as fans around the stadium gave the 30-year-old a standing ovation.
