Scott Boras SCREWED Pete Alonso

[@AaronJudgeMVP29]

@@michaelcassara2880 not comparing anything. Simply stating Pete thought he would get a bigger contract than Nimmo. Boras negotiated Nimmo contract, Pete turns down 158M then hires Boras. That isn’t a coincidence. At the time Nimmo got his contract he was never an all star, never hit 20 HRs in a season, never drove in 70 RBIs in a season. Pete undoubtedly thought he would do better than Nimmo 162M in free agency. Pete should have took the extension, he got way too greedy now is paying the price big time. Can’t say “I want to be a Met” then turn down every single contract offer holding out for more money. This is entirely on Pete, which sucks for him.

You've pretty much summed up my thoughts exactly. And it's only a matter of time (and careers) that the Boras Group collapses. That said, I want to stress two important factors that nobody is talking about, but are foundational in this situation. 1. Pete Alonso is not the sharpest pencil in the box. 2. Scott Boras is driven entirely by greed.

[@chrisgoodwin2745]

The Mets offered Alonso 168 million for 7 years & Alonso didn’t accept it. Then this off season the Mets offered Pete the most again & people are getting on the Mets for what, that they didn’t offer him a ton more & there wrong to do that. That’s nonsense

[@loungezinger]

[@brendanl0711]

You did acknowledge that Pete is not innocent in all of this but I still think you're giving him too much of a pass on this one. It is the agent's job to advise the client but at the end of the day, Scott Boras works for Pete Alonso, not the other way around. It may have have blown up in his face at times but Boras has made a living out of these negotiation tactics. Everyone knows he uses these tactics, we as fans know he is going to use these tactics so Pete and anyone who chooses to use him for representation should damn well know that he's going to use these tactics. If Pete truly wants to be with the Mets, he needs to take ownership of this situation it is long long long past due.

[@dougstein2227]

It goes without saying that Alonzo did not even come close to playing up to his presumed potential. During the season, I sensed that there was something about his situation that made me think he had something more going on either physically, emotionally, or things like that. I have been surprised of the minimal interest in Alonso. I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but it sure seems like there's something going on with him that's not being reported on.

[@aguzman222]

Hardly surprising - Boras clients overpricing themselves - same thing like last year with the big four

[@teddyC8]

I agree with everything you said, I just felt he deserved a bit more than 68-70 because a pitcher like Manea who got 3 yrs 75 million who plays once a week was offered more than our biggest power threat who plays everyday even when injured. I would have gone up another 10 million but less than 90 because he doesn’t have a market

The only time Boras has impressive contracts are from players who can basically get a contract completed from a random person on the street (Ex. Soto, Snell). Any mid level player where he needs to put work and it's almost a guarantee that player gets screwed.

[@nunzi83]

At this point I think Alonso/Boras should look to see if the Mets would give him 1 year at 32million. No referrals. That would set the record for 1B AAV and let’s Alonso hit the market next year with no QO offer attached.

He's been hit in the head multiple times and does he come out of the game? No he doesn't he stays in comes up and hits a HR and everyone cheers including you so again stop with this I mean what else does the guy have to do to get a contract that's fair for everything he has done for this team and brings to this team. He wants to be paid accordingly he wants himself and his family to be financially set and have the security of the Lt contract in NY for the rest of his career and that he has absolutely earned! Is he letting Boris screw him over? ABSOLUTELY!!
