Pete Alonso NEVER Expected This...

[@dorfmanjones]

Alonso has never been a liability in the field. He makes all the plays he's expected to, and occasionally makes a great play. I'm more worried about his BA.

[@kazitude1]

He can't throw the ball if his life depended in it!!!!!!!!!

[@riddlememary]

Alonso’s def isn’t that bad he has the highest scoop rate in all of mlb

[@elbori4365]

Boras is asking for too much money, so that's his problem for letting that go on

[@riddlememary]

Fr he already got Soto to sign big money

[@robertrivera7000]

What are they asking for Pete?

[@bobbenbrown123]

They need to resign Alonso and get Bregman

[@decosteruniverse]

Dear Polar Bear, unless you go to the Blue Jays and get closer to your home, stay on the Mets. We love you there and you are appreciated. You are better at First Base than people give you credit for.

[@LeafKingKAF]

1st Basemen have become the Running Backs of MLB. They're viewed as very expendable. That said, I think the Mets will still give Alonso a nice contract. It was smart of them to let him test the market first though so they don't overpay too crazily.

[@Tango21C]

I think the Mets hold out for Vladdy next year. Way better option than signing 30 years old Alonso

[@j5muscle]

Absolutely

[@Aut0KAD]

I agree, there are a lot of 1st basemen and DH out there already

[@TCO1216]

NGL I’m a Pete fan and hard to change my mind on a 1-3 year deal not making sense. On pace for 500 bombs. Great locker room guy. Loves the city. Homegrown Met. Neve explored when everyone hating on his slump. And look how that “expendable running back” theory has worked out in 2024. Complete 180° after all that yapping. Expect the same from Pete in that lineup between Soto and Vientos.

[@99somerville]

The Mets have had very few good players that have played their entire career in NY. The exception is David Wright. They would like to have a few more players like DW.

[@ivanriverajr5012]

It's his agent, boras. He's the one to blame. Guy is so greedy

[@nunzi83]

Alonso isn’t as bad defensively as ppl say. Yi understand the numbers but you also need the eye test. Also. Alonso just turned 30. Everyone is making it sound he’s a lot older when saying he’s in his thirties. He will play the entire 2025 season and playoffs as a 30 year old.

[@anotherjoshua]

no idea where people are getting the idea that alonso is not a good fielder. his stats are excellent.

[@Bidwellz9]

he had to become a good fielder.....he wasnt

[@imandan1966]

@@Bidwellz9 not the point

[@bobbenbrown123]

It's bcuz he's not exactly "fleet of foot" and looks awkward with his movements for a big man

[@STATUSBABYYY]

Alonso isn’t worth more than 200 mil those are facts

[@nonameanon9368]

A lot of teams want Alonso but not for the years and price he & his agent are asking for!!!! If Alonso would have said one or two years for 10 or 15 million almost every team would be all over that!

[@therichness8768]

Good. This man doesnt belong on anynothwe team but the METS. he will be the firet geniube Met in the HALL OF FAME.

[@imandan1966]

Tom Seaver has entered the chat

[@therichness8768]

@imandan1966 I stand corrected. Maybe the first LIFELONG Met?

[@toneriggz]

I hope Pete comes back. He needs to be a forever Met.

[@CarlosCruz-ll5ez]

I am a bit surprised no one has signed him yet, he has his floss with his defense but he isn’t that terrible plus he will hit 30 or more homers a season

[@johnmazur419]

There might be more interest if he didn't strike out 170 times.

[@elogotya9237]

if it wasnt for the homerun in the wildcard met fans had given up on alonso

[@BrooklynBear63]

He just needs to come back to the Mets. He got starry-eyed from Boras and that didn't help him. He passed up on a Mets extension he should have signed. Now the deal he gets will leave him sour (for no reason, but he's human). Sign him for 4/$100 with opt outs (team/player) after yrs 2 & 3.

[@MrOccyc]

I have nothing against Alonso. But this is how is see it. 34 HR & 88 RBI over 608 ABs. 88-34 leaves 54 RBI over 574 ABs. That’s assuming each HR had no one on board. So there are a lot of ABs that didn’t produce much. I know there are flaws in this but .240 isn’t exactly stellar.

[@dirtyjersey4672]

Dude is the poor man’s Ryan Dunn!

[@rickdiaz3657]

Probably his agent is asking for too much money or too many years of contract. I think the best that Pete Alonso can get would be 6 years and 180 million or something similar, which is a very good contract considering that after 35 years most players start to decline a lot.

[@Am0ment0fB]

ED KRANEPOOL! Mets better sign the Polar Bear! Ha.

[@NancyStewart-oz4ry]

Price needs to come down.

[@Matteo73M]

As some one who’s watch Pete for a while the stats don’t give him the credit he deserves his stats say shitty defenses but the eye test and history says otherwise

[@PianoUniverse]

Stats are facts, your eye mean nothing.

[@ariasfamily350]

Someone will sign him.Just that no one once to give pete what his asking for.

[@fd4340]

He needs to learn that contact with men on third and less then two outs is better then striking out.

[@johnwhite1390]

Why not the Phillies ? Dave Dumb-rowski just LOVES those 40-homer, 200 strikeout guys.

[@PrincessYuki77]

The Mariners would sign him in a heartbeat if they weren't looking to extend their young arms. He could be another Nelson Cruz.

[@PaulPotthast-l8v]

Constructive criticism: You need deeper and more accurate analysis; You didn't go into the recent 1B signing and trades by the teams that had made up the market for Alonso (ie: Houston, Arizona, Yankees, Cleveland); the Feinsand article is old, considering your video came out today; Baserunning ability is hardly a consideration (if so, a very minor one) for a middle of the order power bat; the Mets aren't out on Alonso... they're almost the sole market left for him.

[@donnieheeler]

You should make a video too or write an article.

[@BKDBut]

​@@donnieheelerwhat a stupid comment

[@BKDBut]

His future isn't up in the air. Mets and Stearns played a masterclass of waiting out the market. Now theyll get him on a team friendly contract

[@MapleTreeatdawn]

It’s simply a dollars and cents thing for Alonso. He can be a Met right now for three years for $15M per.

[@TheMacdod]

4 years $90 mio with opt outs starting year 2. Give him a chance to increase his value

[@CanCanSportscast]

All the teams that are expected to “need” a first baseman, like Alonso, are the Mets,yankees,mariners,astros, and D-Backs. The yankees got goldy, the astros got Christian Walker, and the D-Backs got Josh Naylor. So, it’s in between the Mariners and the Mets. The mariners, a team where hitters go to die, and a place where not much winning is done, is an option. Or, you can go back to a team that you’ve spent your entire career for, a team that is willing to spend money on players, and a team that is a World Series contender. It’s a pretty obvious choice if you ask me

[@_STNML]

He was always a 5th/6th hitter.

[@reneroberts3555]

You can’t say that nobody wants him. Teams don’t want to get involved in a bidding war that his agent “Scott Boras” wants. I’m sure teams like Alonso they just don’t want to deal with BORAS!

[@LongIslandbaseball55]

Fielding shouldn’t be a factor for a first basemen, they’re not supposed to be slick in the field.

[@JorgeLaureano]

When watching him play 1st base, Alonso did very well scooping bad throws from the infield. His major problem comes when throwing the ball.. He's terrible with that side arm garbage he continually attempted. Another issue with Alonso is that he clearly doesn't anticipate scenarios in his head before the ball is hit to him... When playing defense, guys need to consistently review the field and consider what they need to do if the ball comes in their direction. Alonso is always trying to figure it out after the ball has already been hit to him! SMH... Lastly, yes... he did hit 34 HRs but that was only one more than Lindor had but when Lindor was hitting his HRs, the impacted the game by taking the lead or tying the game. Alonso's impressive HRs always seemed to come when the team was already leading by 5-6 runs... whoop-de-doo... Not clutch at all during the entire season!! One HR against the Brewers doesn't justify erasing the fact that Alonso was lacking in relevance most of the season, striking out during crucial moments day after day. For anyone rooting for him all season it simply became frustrating! I hope he comes back but only at the right price because I rather take a better fielder with a higher OBP, than a guy who hit irrelevant HRs... LGM

[@TCO1216]

Guys a stud. I don’t get it. Hopefully the Mets can retain him at the right price.

[@mamalannightshyaman]

this is the 19th video with the same title from different youtubers, We get it

[@godphoenix66x]

And yet you keep watching all of them😂😂😂.

[@BKDBut]

Does being slow mean you're a "liability"? I'd call someone a liability if they're making poor decisions and getting thrown out. Picked off. Not just because they're slow

[@frankg3rd1]

Seems like hes not popular in the baseball community. Anyway...who cares...Met fans love him...bring him back !

[@bryanklein6428]

Bring back the polar bear lfgm

[@robertv918]

It's not Pete Alonso. Its Boras, teams don't want to deal with Boras. He is going to get screwed just Boras 2023 clients.

[@dontgiveinfo]

Pete has been hitting A-Rod Home runs. What is that? Those are home runs that just pad stats. If we dissect every home run from him. You will see most will be ones that don't need to be hit cuz the team already won. Meaning the team is feasting on a hittable pitcher. Or home runs that bring a team over to win a close game or home runs that carry a team. None of that happened in 2024 regular season

[@Eogyu09]

A-rod had about 2,000 RBI'S. Hater fantasy his home runs didn't help his teams. Also he won 2009 for the Yankees.

[@imandan1966]

You seriously compared Alonso to ARod? Have you just started watching baseball?

[@john-danielmunoz3469]

it's not just his defense. His last 2 seasons his batting averages were .240 and .217 and his last 2 OPSes were .788 and .821. He strikes out over 150 times a year. He is a one tool player, and he wants 30 million dollars a year. He is not worth it.

[@jeffteyrosado9966]

Rangers 😅😅😅😅

[@andyc312]

Cubs

[@jamesrodgres2813]

Strikeout machine...bregman better 😮

[@HamAndCheeze]

I watch every Mets game, Alonso is a GOOD defender. He saves so many errors with his scoops. Stop with the clickbait titles. Santander isn’t signed eithe does that mean nobody wants him?

[@BKDBut]

I watch every game too. I think good is pushing it. I'd say mediocre. His reputation of an iron glove is completely incorrect though.

[@scatdad]

You really don't know what you're talking about. His defense is better than most if you think about it how many times has he saved an out and scooped up more than his share better than any other first base in the MLB so you really don't know anything about his defense and you're not a fan of Pete Alonzo

[@Am0ment0fB]

Pete was only every gonna be lifelong Met. But, he did turn down their extension. So, now, the Mets gonna get a small discount, but give my man Pete the extra year he wants. LGM. Ha.

[@ishottheserf6715]

Mets should just resign him

[@craigbart7086]

Way to many strikeouts

[@scottlink183]

Alonso caught borosittis. MLB teams do not want that desease on their team.

[@JumpingJack6]

No at the price he wants to fetch.

[@geneparadiso6258]

He’s deteriorated overt the years.

[@mikefagan6840]

He's a One trick pony and the Mets WILL take him for ONLY what he's worth, maybe a bit more. NOBODY is gonna give him what HE wants. Boras is screwed on this one. 😂😂😂😂 LGM.

[@creates100]

He has had 2 down years in a row. He looks fat. He looks old for 30. 1st base is dime a dozen type position. He should get Walker money. 20 to 25 million 3 years with a team option for a fourth

[@PlasticPellets]

Pete Alonso is a dufus version of Dave Kingman

[@frank716]

Nobody wants to pay the money he wants. Unfortunately he will come back to the Mets

[@jdubmash]

He seems to breathe with his mouth open often...

[@LuisRamos-vc7nz]

He is asking for too much money and he doesn't deserve it

[@thunderroadfourwheeling7421]

hes being greedy

[@joselopezmoya9786]

Could there be any collusion against ALONSO in MLB ??

[@imandan1966]

no

[@richardmanley2072]

It seems like he made a big mistake by not extending his contract with the mets maybe rhe mets will just let him go
