BIG Mets Updates: Alonso REJECTS Mets Latest Offer, Blue Jays Want Him WITH Vladdy, Mets Pivoting

[@WardyNYM]

Help us get to 350+ likes & 35K subs! Mets fans, what’s YOUR thoughts on the latest with Alonso, Vladdy etc?

[@rebeccawalsh6921]

Well Gosh...Did we really believe Alonso would want to sign to the Mets for less money? Mets did the right thing and they have options within their team as 2025 isn't a win-all year, but another bridge year as this team continues to be molded by the mastermind named David Stearns. Yes, this team as it stands now is probably not a World Series team....but, I don't think they are done at all! Mets have a few more moves up their sleeves...these next few weeks are going to be fun!

[@rebeccawalsh6921]

Wow, the Mets just resigned Jesse Winker...doesn't Winker play 1B occasionally? I thought he played 1B for Washington last year?

[@campbeja001]

Mets offered Alonso 7 yrs 158 million and he punted. It was over then

Exactly.. serious organization now… no longer a pit stop for greedy agents or past their prime players… 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@rebeccawalsh6921]

Mets have options with Vientos, Winker, or Ryan Clifford. I don't see Guerrero coming to the Mets in 2025, its not a Stearns type of move. I do see Stearns pivoting for a Bregman...I would love to have Bregman in the lineup!

[@gallosventura605]

As a Mets fan, I’m sad to hear Alonso’s time with the Mets may be over. Good luck to him the rest of his career. Having said that, once he turned down that 7 year extension, it was over then. He failed to recognize the market for a first baseman specially at his age. I believe in Sterns and the front office, they will put a winning product on the field im 2025. And if Vlady becomes available via a trade, put the Mets as the number 1 destination given the major league ready prospects the Mets have available which the Blue Jays have a huge need.

[@romanc.5074]

We need a big bat behind Soto.

[@astoriacub]

@@salvation2979 not true. We neither know who's available via trade nor do we know who will be available at the trade deadline in July. The Blue Jays are over-reacting and going to offer Alonso a bad contract out of desperation. It will be Ryan Howard all over again.

[@j5muscle]

They should not have to

[@hankypankyspuddingsandpies8788]

There was a story 3 years roughly 7 million per year. It was alonso's proposal. In my opinion the Mets should not deal with any client of Boras. I feel that he was below his history of homers. His average is way to low. He has lost more games than he won for the team. His strike outs, double plays and Big mistakes. And not clutch. The team would be better off without him and Bores. They need some one with consistency.

He hit .270 in the postseason. Biggest homer in most of our lifetimes and was a key cog in beating the Phillies. Not saying the Mets should meet his asking price bc I don’t think they should but saying he hit .140 is just not true

[@Lee4364]

@@christopherlongo2393 I have never seen a player more like Dave Kingman that Pete Alonso since Dave Kingman.. he is a 1 dimensional player .. he is not worth Freddie Freeman Money.. his wak year could not have been any worse and his numbers come AFTER the Mets have been eliminated ... Clutch and Pete will never exist in the same sentence, even the sun shines on a dogs a** once in while

[@christopherlongo2393]

@@Lee4364 I agree he’s not anywhere near Freddie freeman and shouldn’t get that type of money. But to say he batted 140 in the playoffs is blatantly false. And I wouldn’t necessarily call him clutch but he has had some big hits in his career. And I love the argument people use with the empty stats thing, so what is he supposed to do? Some years you don’t make the playoffs so you’re just supposed to be trash for the rest of the season once your teams emanated? You can’t win no matter what u do in NY sometimes

Pete’s a clown 🤡

[@astoriacub]

So it's the Blue Jays who are going to overpay someone out of desperation...

[@ElmoChan43]

At the moment, the "low ball offer" is still the best offer he has out there. In each of the Mets offer so far, they have always been the best offer on the market not just for Alonso but for any other first baseman so far this off season.

[@therichness8768]

i said it before on other podcasts regarding the Mets and Pete Alonso.... Pete, for me, your home run was as equally thrilling as when they won in 86. I cried when i saw it here in the UK where i live now. You truly have the heart of New York in your hands. Your home run will absolutely forever be remembered in Mets lore for quite some time... For you to decide to refuse an offer for 7 years at that ridiculous sum of money, the writing was already on the wall. It breaks my heart that you have decided that the riches that you will earn and never hope to spend in your next five generations lifetimes WAS NOT ENOUGH.......??? well... Hope you like the weather in Toronto. I also hope you enjoy watching the Yankees, Orioles, RedSox and Tampa Bay Rays continually keep you from World Series glory

[@markgreene8186]

I agree on that 7 year rejection

We are marginally worse then last year. I dont thibk this team as is even has a chance of beating the Dodgers. We ended up doing what the Yankees would have done. Signed soto and ran it back with less.

[@yf9856]

shocked but not shocked. I know want to see how long of a deal will the other teams would offer Pete since he is 30 years old. If he gets a 5 year deal for 28/30 mill per God bless will be missed but it would be an over pay. Move Vientos to 1st temporary get Valdy next year and have Brett Baty, Ronny Mauricio, Luisangel Acuña compete for 3rd/2nd backup

[@innocentbystander6674]

I like Pete, but besides hitting home runs he doesn't do much. Doesn't hit for average. Is a decent fielder at best. Yet he thinks he deserves a monster contract. Much like Conforto. Both overvalue themselves way too much

[@charlescrowe7448]

Pete talked so much ish about how he loves to be a Met, and then, boom, in your face, totally unacceptable. 👎

[@ProjectMerljn]

People need to stop coping with Steaems track record with the brewers, that was in the past and in a crap division. He’s allowed other big city teams to grab pitchers and sticks under his nose because he thinks he can play hardball with the assumption the METS are an “it” team. Someone tell Me what exactly he has done this year to improve the roster? SOTO is Cohen signing. Resigning your own free agents is not an addition. Again, tell me what game breaking moves he’s made this year?HES DONE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

[@Marcus-jb1cp]

Time to pivot to Vlad.

[@TheDemocraticWatchdogs]

What was part of the message that Stearns promised Soto about the future of the Mets. This doesnt make the team better. Unless other moves are made.

[@jamesrauchett2343]

Let him walk

[@RonKemp-x1k]

Lindor, Soto, Santander, Guerrero Jr could rival Ohtani, Betts, Freeman....will be interesting to see how Acuna Jr comes back

[@Mitchropolitan]

I really think the entire whole off season around Juan Soto, has been beyond underwhelming. This is a massive hole in run production. I think Pete has multiple 40+/100+ seasons left in him. Vientos is a defensive liability at 1B with how he has struggled ground balls, imho.

[@Lee4364]

The Problem IS THAT YOU ALL THINK HE IS BETTER THAN HE IS.. NOT 1 Fan looks at the Numbers and when they come... Good God you guys think he is that Good and he SUCKS!! He can't carry a Team .. he is soft as Baby Stuff!!

[@lordtwisted4216]

I love Pete. I would love him back. Him and Boras are both nuts. Move on... They offered him more than he will ever get now.

[@brianmalcolm4220]

It's amazing how we can sign Soto yet I'm very underwhelmed with the off season. This has gone downhill since.

[@garygold23]

[@scottzimmerman3823]

Boras is a greedy bastard who only cares about his pocket, not the players he represents…see last year!. And again now with Alonso. C’Mon….how many millions does one need????

[@Lou-zb2nx]

Mets needed 2 bats before they landed Soto. So they still need 2 solid bats now without Alonso. I’m totally fine letting Alonso walk because he strikes out too much and he’s never been my ideal kind of player, but they still need 2 bats. So hopefully, there’s some good news on Vlad and they add the other bat. Or they can try to include Varsho to play CF in their proposal for Vlad. I’m sure the Jays want to get out from that Varsho contract and he’s really solid defensively. He’d be a huge benefit for Soto & Nimmo
