Will Pete Alonso be Traded? - The Michael Kay Show TMKS July 11 2024

[@cgctorrag]

Mets won't trade Alonso unless they sharply drop out of the WC race.

[@tedchen8276]

Not worth $40m a year to keep Alonso with his low BA. Plus it's JD Martinez who has made a bigger impact to the lineup. Vientos and Alvarez are the future with Lindor and Nimmo.

[@DanielSnyder-to4td]

Trade Alonso. Move Vientos to first base. Baty can finish the year at 3rd for remainder of year then Mauricio next year. Acuna/ Williams coming to play 2b. Iglesias infield utility. Use money on pitching.

[@SiTengoHambre]

@@DanielSnyder-to4tdI agree but Mets are in need of pitching prospects which teams won’t give up to get a 1B that’s batting .240

[@sabmetricbones9887]

If anything just put mcneil at 2nd and iglesias at 3rd for a couple weeks

[@PHN-2024]

Spoiler: The Yankees Lost that "Rubber" Game against Rays.

[@Justin-tu4fk]

His buzzer beater contraption, belongs in the Hall of Fame!

[@georgedevine4130]

Petey should be a lifelong Met. He has weaknesses but I believe he's the heart and soul

[@forpetesake20]

mets fans are sadists and pete would keep them in that mode

[@iunstoppable1]

5 yrs 175 for pete ain't bad also the Mets have 150 million coming off the books

[@Konstant1ne.]

$35M for Pete is absolutely Terrible. are you smoking crack

[@mcncheese69]

Trade him

[@Justin-tu4fk]

It's getting hairy out there! Even Pete's Rug, got lost in the mail!

[@alandesgrange9703]

The Met's success this year has little to do with Alonso.

[@SiTengoHambre]

Exactly 👍🏽 but his value decreased since last season . Mets need pitching prospects in return to say the very least

[@bootydoo42]

He’s in a slump. Imagine how good we will be when he’s hot

[@crimsonchinnychinchins3954]

The numbers that kay is bringing up makes no sense. Boras and pete know hes not getting 30-40 mil+ per.

[@bernardking13]

I love how you all talk about the Tax bracket but yet insist Mets are in play for Soto lol.

[@SiTengoHambre]

Even if the Mets do trade Pete , his value is way less than last season . Cubs/ Rays were willing to give up a haul but Mets said no

[@zcorpalpha2462]

Trade him to the A’s 😂

[@Youtubesucks777]

If the package is worth it I say yes

[@commomcents]

The Yankees should highly consider trading Soto as well.The Yankees will not be the highest bidder,make no mistake about that and they will lose him for nothing.Send him to the highest bidder..The Yankees started this losing streak around the same time they wanted to Boras about that Soto extension and we haven’t heard a whisper since..Get a few top prospects back before this guy leaves us flat footed 🤭

[@erikprimitivo5071]

Yankees have a chance to make a postseason run because of the caliber of player he is. Things are bad rn, but without him much much worse. They will not have an under .500 season if they can help it, they will keep Soto and risk losing him to FA. The risk is worth it man. No ones gonna give up their farm for half a season of him. He is too costly, you might as well pay for him only at this point. They won’t find the proper suitors for him via trade

[@johncummings5350]

Absolutely no conversation here about the possibility of trading Alonso now and then signing him in free agency...... surprised nobody discussed this

[@jameskhan7786]

I think it hadn’t been discussed is because if a team trades you but makes an offer in the off season for you, that player may or could think why did they trade me in the first place? That player may not want to have any dealings with that team that moved on from him.

[@johncummings5350]

​@@jameskhan7786 Currently..... with them in playoff position.....I agree with you. However.....if they were out of the playoff picture then I believe Pete would understand the business side of a decision to trade him to gain prospects and then sign again with the team in free agency. I am quite sure the conversation has been discussed between Pete and Scott Boras. I also question Michael Kay suggesting Pete isn't a guy Stearns is interested in long-term. I doubt any GM likes aging contracts in a perfect world. Obviously most would like a guy to be on the back end of a contract by age 35 and not older.....but you have to weigh out the value of the player throughout the contract and you have to realize that the NY market creates plenty of revenue for this team to handle some regression on the back end of the deal. This is a very different decision from dealing with a Milwaukee market. If they let him go and they struggle to find a guy that puts up the production he has over the past five years then the fans will forever question Stearns. Personally.....id keep him. You have an owner that can afford his contract and with all the young talent in the system Pete would be a great presence in the middle of the lineup.

[@Methoes123]

Talk to the O's! Mountcastle is a top 1st baseman!

[@Justin-tu4fk]

Don is sporting the "Mr. Freeze, look". Was this ordered by the higher ups? Christmas in July? TV movie routine?

[@JoshuaMohundro]

Its a great way to get bullpen help and/or trade assets for another trade

[@stephenlevy7103]

Nimmo will pass wright for most hits as a met. He will be the lifetime met

[@Justin-tu4fk]

Keep Pete, away from the big stage, overkill and intense heat, can shrink his viability! Try dancing with the stars, first!

[@TheGodDamnJets87]

Those players you mentioned are raking because pete is in the lineup.

[@Rob-ht8or]

exactly what i was thinking hes protecting the other guys. you cant trade pete alonso and you must resign him . theres nobody better out there.

[@ralelunar]

Pete is hitting 4th 😂 He's not protecting anyone, he's not Judge

[@TheGodDamnJets87]

@@ralelunar never said he was. There's a reason the lower guys in this lineup are hitting. One of them is pete protects them. You're clearly just ignorant 🙄

[@johncummings5350]

In my opinion...... with Cohen stating clearly that he bought the Mets for the fans..... trading Alonso would be completely against that grain. The Mets have the owner with the most money and he claims to be in this to make Mets fans smile. It's easy to accomplish that by keeping Pete a Met and by handling the possibility that a longer contract may not age well but kept a prolific home run hitter and home grown talent in NY...... Queens specifically. Isn't that the advantage of having an owner with money??? .....to be able to keep a guy like Alonso and worry about his 35+ year old seasons when they happen???

[@homerunhitters333]

THIS FOOL.SAID "BASED ON A 30 GAME SAMPLE THE METS DON'T NEED ALONSO"..

[@mentionifwrong]

Astros farm system is near depleted. They won’t offer nearly enough. Next topic.

[@Realdanschaal]

No teams are pitching to Pete

[@madwax1360]

Tough decision....I can understand both sides of it

[@user-vh8xd8pn7p]

Lagrecca please go be a yankee fan and leave the mets alone PLEASE

[@clemersmonroe5183]

Wasn’t he a devils fan and all of a sudden a rangers fan but he calls fraud all the time

[@johnsantello8515]

Not team makes business decisions based on whatever emotionally overwrought and low information fans are screaming about and demanding.

[@carrollbullock4866]

Go grab a couple of young arms under contract for several years.

[@k-bretta9087]

No!!! I just posited this trade on a different thread: straight up Pete for Bryan Bello on the sox.

[@SiTengoHambre]

Good thing you’re not the GM

[@texandy89]

Nolan Ryan too Mets too let Nolan Ryan walk as well lol

[@David-m8i]

Stupid comp, Ryan was 24, and a top 3 player. Alonso is not a top 50 player

[@ralelunar]

Nolan Ryan wasn't an ace when the Mets let him walk, it's not the same thing

[@texandy89]

@ralelunar Mets suck anyways so do the Yankees, Giants and Jets, Rangers, all New York sports teams are trash anyways, could care less.

[@richardlemmer877]

Would much rather see Sterns go than Alonso even though Stearns has mad good moves for people like Bader and Ingleseis.

[@homerunhitters333]

THESE FOOLS SAID: "BASED ON A 30 GAME SAMPLE THE METS DON'T NEED ALONSO." THESE FOOLS WANT ALONSO OFF THE METS.

[@anthonym7133]

Pete plays good defense at first. Michael Kay is just regurgitating false clown talking points. Watch the games or shut up. Sign Pete at all cost.

[@michaeldepinto3562]

Pete is a good defensive first baseman. Shows how much Michael Kay knows about the Mets.

[@ralelunar]

Pete is a terrible first baseman 😂 Do you watch the games? A good first baseman doesn't have to belly flop for balls.

[@anthonym7133]

@@ralelunar clearly you don't

[@angelbluerider9588]

has to be a great package to trade pete, if not keep him. until end of season.

[@suttamuzik2292]

But Teams worry about Pete in the lineup

[@Nycfinest197]

These guys are not being fair especially kay. Pete alonso bat is the reason why jd and lindor and rest are doing good. He’s a big bat that pitchers must watch out. Lindor batted 199 lol. Now he batting 250 and they winning. I rather flip jd martinez and put vientos there, flip marte and nimmo snd mcneil n some pitching since acuna is ready so is scott and brito

[@michaeldepinto3562]

Can't trade Pete
