New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso wants to see teammate Francisco Lindor land a monster payday.

"Pay him $400 (million)," Alonso said Tuesday, according to Anthony DiComo of MLB.com.

When questioned if he believes Lindor is worth that type of money, Alonso added, "absolutely."

The Mets and Lindor, who's set to become a free agent next offseason, are reportedly trying to negotiate a contract extension before Opening Day. New York is apparently offering the four-time All-Star a 10-year, $325-million deal, while the 27-year-old reportedly wants a pact worth $385 million over 12 years.

The Mets' offer to Lindor is believed to be their final one before Opening Day. They're apparently unwilling to meet the star shortstop in the middle.

Lindor would arguably be the best free agent available next offseason if he tests the open market.
