Rewritten Title:

2. Pete Alonso out of HR Derby, leaves door open for future return. (Stronger idiom for the future option)
3. Alonso passes on Derby, doesn’t rule out defending HR title later. (Clear verbs, emphasizes “defending” the title)

Highlighting the “May Return” Aspect:

4. Pete Alonso skipping Home Run Derby, but may return to defend crown. (Simple, clear, future-focused)
5. Mets slugger Pete Alonso bypasses Derby, open to comeback championship bid. (Slightly more formal “bypasses,” emphasizes “comeback” and “bid”)

Focusing on the Fact He’s Champ:

6. Reigning HR Derby champ Pete Alonso sitting out this year, eyes future defense. (Emphasizes current champion status & intention)
7. Mets’ Pete Alonso opts out of Home Run Derby; future defense still an option. (Formal “opts out,” clear “still an option”)

More Evocative:

8. Mets power hitter Alonso skips Derby dance, crown defense could wait. (Metaphor “Derby dance,” slight intrigue with “could wait”)

Key changes explained:
