While New York Mets rookie Pete Alonso won $1 million on Monday with his victory in the Home Run Derby , he doesn’t seem too overwhelmed by the payout. Despite the fact that the $1 million prize will nearly double his 2019 salary , Alonso seemed far more proud of the accomplishment than the payoff that came with it. More Pete Alonso on the HRD win: “A million dollars, you can put it in the bank, you can spend it all. It doesn’t matter what you do with it. At the end of the day, I’m a Home Run Derby champion. No one’s going to take that away from me. That in itself is priceless.” #Mets — David Lennon (@DPLennon) July 9, 2019 That’s true. Alonso will be a Home Run Derby champion long after the $1 million is gone. Additionally, while he’s currently under team control in his rookie salary, Alonso will make significantly more than that $1 million as soon as he gets into arbitration and then free agency. For now, though, while he may take more pride in being the 2019 Home Run Derby champion, the $1 million prize sure is a nice bonus.
