Pete Alonso's Mysterious Free Agency | Foul Territory

[@wurm90125]

A guy who hits .230 with RISP and .153 with the bases loaded doesn't get a $200 million contract.

[@Grommok]

Correct, and I am a Met fan.

[@baosommurr4566]

​@@Grommok more like the only team willing to pay him 250m sign one player for 765m nd having nothing left 🤣

[@dwaynebanks4194]

@@baosommurr4566they have the money. Not paying Alonso more than Freeman or Olsen

[@GiantsJets718]

Honestly I hope they don’t sign Pete because I wanted Vlad for the longest time. Pete only hits home runs that’s it and they are usually in garbage time.

[@tronrobojim6526]

I LOVE Pete, and hope he returns to the Mets. The bottom line is home runs (power) alone is just not going to get you elite dollars as a 1B these days. LFGM!!!

[@RobynHood1021]

Especially when hes going on 30

[@Gmark25]

AJ the type of dude to tell Pete about the six pack he had in his early 20s.

[@ScottyBraun-FoulTerritory]

Pete's perfect for NY. I hope it works out

[@GiantsJets718]

I hope it doesn’t I want Vlad

[@NGLaw56]

Fielder hit 299. to get that deal. if Pete was that consistent maybe. But the deal didn’t even work out for Detroit in the long run.

[@Standdividedfalltogether]

If he’s looking at 6-133 to break even, seems like the 3-90 from the Mets would be the way to go. Then he only need to make 43 over 4 or if he gets 25M per for 4 years in any combo that’s the 7-200 he wanted to begin with. 3-90 seems like a great deal to get him to that 200 over 7 he wants. And he has Soto to hit behind to get his numbers up during that time. Doesn’t get much better.

[@dongrimes7471]

Great content, as usual. BUT, does anyone else get frustrated having to constantly adjust the VOLUMN based one who is speaking? Frustrating!

[@Relentlezz41]

Kratz needs a new or adjusted mic

[@michellesakura1]

for every mega deal like Juan Soto we also have a Jordan Montgomery like situation and we all remember that.

[@SirVic42]

5 Year deal at current market rate, with option years guaranteed for winning NLCS MVP (means he led the Mets to the WS) and/or winning WS MVP (led the Mets to a title). If Pete leads the team to a World Series win, the Mets can print enough money to pay Pete in his late 30's and he'll be a fan favorite. If the Mets continue to be the Mets (no titles), then there is nothing worse than being stuck in NYC with a big contract and a fan base that boos you everywhere you go. He'd be happier in KC or Seattle at that point, and he'll have his money.

[@chrishall6642]

Zero reason to give him 5 years. No one else is bidding

[@ronr9084]

What? Prince Fielder had 1 good year after signing, a so so year (for him) in year 2, was traded and barely played with injuries for a few years before retiring early. Not a good visual to provide teams

[@SplooshNoonley]

What was the point of this video? No news. No new opinions. Just 3 dudes clumsily remembering things. Weird.

[@kingpinballer242]

That prince fielder contract was atrocious… not a great comparison… probably did the exact opposite and reinforced the Mets choice to not offer a crazy deal

[@johnboy5177]

Mets offered 7 years 158

[@prphd555]

Don’t expect the people doing this segment to research that lol

[@jasonfocacci9234]

Nothing mysterious here. Dude’s agent wants one of those 10 year $300 million contracts everybody was getting last year. Boras never lets his guys take reasonable deals. He will make Alonso wait until spring training if he doesn’t get the deal he’s looking for.

[@Dr_Evil_Genius]

Boras can have Pete sit out 2025. I’m sure that will earn MORE money. 😂

[@MegaChrissypissy]

Why would Pete sign a one year deal with another team when the Mets already offered 3 year for 90 with opt outs after each year. Makes no sense AJ

[@Dr_Evil_Genius]

The methodology is that Pete can enter the market again next year with presumably more teams vying for his services if he hits for a higher average and stops chasing sliders that end up in the other batter’s box.

[@Dan-tt8sn]

Is this a joke? Prince fielder is a perfect example of what not to do. Worst contract ever. He signed a 9 yr contract through 2020, his age 36 season. Then his career ended in 2016 with a neck injury at only 31 yrs old and his team still had to pay him through 2020, 5 years after he was retired. If insurance didn’t cover this, then it is a terrible contract to try to emulate.

[@dashx1103]

It should be a joke, but it isn't ... sadly. There was an off-handed comment that Boras had used Fielder's contract "as a comparison." And somehow social media turned it into "Pete is demanding 9 Years and $200+ million." It's just click bait. The Mets are offering 3 years, Pete wants 5 years. All the rest is just BS. It is insane.

[@travis6694]

Terrible contract to begin with, but insurance did pay a majority of the remainder rod his contract. He went on the 60 day IL until the contract expired.

[@Dan-tt8sn]

@ yeah that’s what I’m assuming. I was going to add that to the comment but I just didn’t feel like typing anymore lol

[@chrishall6642]

@@travis6694 insurance ain't free. still have to front a premium for $100m+ haha

[@chrishall6642]

His old agency dropped him because of his unrealistic expectations. Nothing has changed and look where it got him

[@jmz5]

I love Pete and want him back but not for 9 years. 4/120

[@Dr_Evil_Genius]

I’m not sure the Mets want Pete at all beyond 2025 with Vladimir Jr. becoming a Free Agent next offseason.

[@anotherjoshua]

he's gonna make tens of millions of dollars a year no matter what. pete will be just fine.

[@relaxitsalmostdone]

200... no way. He's not worth that.

[@mariae.auffant2404]

Is best to give him a short contract 3 to 4 yr and that's it ...

[@mariae.auffant2404]

But he was young then...he wasn't 30 like now.

[@GiantsJets718]

I want Vlad jr I don’t even want him back

[@richboy7414]

[@RobynHood1021]

Pete is a 4 year deal guy maybe 80 mil…whatever the dollar amount its a 4 year deal..hes not prince fielder

[@SavetheRepublic]

Sorry but Pete is NOT a 200 plus million dollar player. To be fair alot of these guys who have gotten 500 plus mil weren't worth it either.

[@PrinceEthan1226]

Pete is not a Pro

[@MatthewVasquez-x9s]

why aren't we talking about pookie ohtani?

[@Dr_Evil_Genius]

Because if you dust off the Ohtani subject, you might find him betting on baseball [again].

[@TheTEN24]

Pete is a good player but he’s not getting anywhere near 200 million

[@xKillZone99]

pete 30 years old with no eye and no plate discipline, boras bringing prince is the dumbest thing ever, prince was younger, hit for higher average, walked more than twice as much as pete and guess what Prince was done in the mlb by 32 years old... Boras probably just lowered petes value by bringing up prince

[@johnp8355]

Pete needs to fire Boras

[@hen8950]

AJ is wrong. Prince was awful and out of shape. I see why AJ was on so many teams, he’s unlikable a f.

[@mariae.auffant2404]

Alonso not worth 9 yrs he's not young ..3 to 4 yrs ok

[@nunzi83]

Using Prince fielder is a horrible comparison for boras. Look at how it ended. Yes he got hurt. But that’s what teams fear with long term deals. Not performing and being hurt is the same. No one wants to pay money to. Player who isn’t playing or playing well. Also boras lucked out big time on the fielder contract. Tigers were desperate. I believe it was Victor Martinez who got hurt late in the off-season and tigers had to scramble. It was perfect timing for Boras. Also. Tigers owner spent money to win. It’s all he wanted.

[@jayjayfrmstatefarm9363]

Pete rejected 7/158M extension then ran to Scott Boras. Tough cookies, every ain’t Juan Soto you gotta know your value.

[@jeffrothman7982]

Pete Alonso is a good guy, very overrated player
