Reward good, committed work. He wants to come back, he’s proven it.
Pete should not be too creedy and drop Borus.
Gary Cohn typical crystal ball Mets fan. Speaking as a Yankee fan I'm glad what happened to the Mets. That's all the Mets fan said we will be in anybody we will beat the 1927 Yankees. And I'm glad what happened. Enjoy your choke history
How many millions does anyone person need
Vientos can be the DH. Hope we keep Pete.
I'm not a prisoner of the moment fan. Attempt to keep Pete…at the right price and years of his next contract.
It’s a tough call. Do you give up Pete to bring in Soto? Is Soto the guy that leads the Mets to the promised land? Who knows…
Past his prime, bad body, low BA, declining numbers, Boras client. Let him go! We need 1B for Vientos anyway.
Clickbait 👎
Bring him back on a three year deal if possible. He won't be pressing as much now that he would have a new contract.
Keep Pete! At bats in the playoffs have taught him to be a better AT-BAT! PLUS he's OUR GUY-HOME GROWN! #20 RETIRED in the raptors after he hits HIS 500th Homerun and at LEAST 1 RING! Them off to Cooperstown.
Keep Him. Do Not Leet him or Anyone Go!
tv revenues have completely collapsed for but a few teams. free agency is likely to be similar to last yr. the mets shouldn't have a hard time re-signing alonso. i think it can be as low as 20 x 3, and as high as 30 x 5. take the avg and round-up… 27.5 x 4 = 110m is my guess.
My goodness, totally forgot about Mauricio. 100% move Vientos to first, Ronny at 3rd. Two young power bats, and the infield defense improves.
There were too many strikeouts when all we needed was a fly ball,hell even a ground out.
He has 2 good months of hitting and does nothing else. Better option in house than the Polar Bear.
Baty at first. Soto in right ,goodbye Marte. We r set.
I’d love to keep Pete at a fair deal,we can’t bid against ourselves because his agent is greedy
Better bring back your own guy. Scott Boris shouldn't be a factor. Pay pete finally got an owner who spends don't cheap out. I do remember todd zeile being good replacement for John olurde
Colorado Rockie. They will be the team that over pays Pete. Steve Cohen didn't make Stearns Baseball Ops to keep sitting on the top tier luxury cap.
Also, Baty, Acuna and Maurico need to get burn. Pete's contract will age badly.
I do appreciate everything he has done
I hope Pete stays. LGM
$325 MILLION DOLLARS PLAYER SALARIES . THATS HIGHER THAN THE LA DODGERS PLAYERS AMOUNT. PETE ALANZO VALUE $30. MILLION
Cohen is wrong. Mauricio was NOT a lock to be the Mets' 3B this season. They had 3 candidates with Baty being the leader, that's why he broke camp as the starter and Vientos (unfortunately) was sent down.
I say we trade for vlad.
Wonder if Pete heard Darryl Strawberry express his regrets leaving NY and apologized to the fans for leaving.
I think he'll be looking to get 5 yrs 140m.. I don't know if the Mets are willing to do that.
Only let him go if you get Soto. Then put Vientos at 1B, play Iglesias at 3B till Baty is ready or Mauricio’s..pitching pitching pitching
Hey Todd Zeile, Pete Alonso “Loves” Money Period.
Wouldn't it be funny if he ended up as a Yankee?
I love Pete but I think we should pass
Scott Boras is a ghoul
so far he is wayyy more productive and clutch in the playoffs than judge. a keeper
It’s really a no brainer. If Pete really wants to stay with the team HE can make it happen. Maybe a small home town discount – for example $100M vice $120M. When you get to that kind of dollars does it really make a big difference?? Will you sacrifice your comfort for a little extra $?
He did more than anyone expected this playoffs with the bat and the glove!
I bet he'll take a little less than other teams might offer to stay!
Pete's the man!
Love Petey, but the best deal he was going to get was in 2023. 22.7 per year was a good offer and Boras passed.
Prob with letting Pete go, is there arent much guys giving you an easy 30+ bombs. in the post season, his homers were in big spots. hard to find that unless soto is coming. pete is a dh long term. like jd
Pitching first.
Gary is right. Mauricio was seen as the best of the three, before he went down with Vientos being the afterthought. Baty is the afterthought now and a trade piece. Mauricio will PROBABLY win the rookie of the year IF healthy. He won the Dominican league MVP which is harder than AAA and was on his way to doing it again, before the freak injury.
Keep Pete, but offer him 180 million for 6 years. No more than that. That is a great offer for someone like him. If another team offers him more than that, then let him go.
Goodbye Pete. .. Vientos would be a better 1st Baseman and a lot cheaper price… Bye Bye Pete!!!
Alonso has regressed the last two seassons. This dude is not a 30 million dollar player with 2.6 WAR.
Muncy puts 5 war a season for 12 million.
