The issue is that Pete Alonso thinks he’s at the level of Juan Soto. He’s always been a deluded, out of touch guy who’s literally hit one big home run all of last season. David Stearns is not Sandy Alderson.
@@unstopable50 someone gets it. I been saying this once the Soto signing was official and been getting blasted. Yes he’s overpaid but what superstar isn’t??. Soto is elite talent. In the NL East the Mets are competing against the Phillies and Braves. Stearns knows what he’s doing
@@Xenlacasa45 Remember that when you witness a power outage..... especially when Lindor or Soto go through slumps. Pete ....many times in his career..... could carry the offense when they were going through a hot stretch. I'm not going to dwell on this now...... just remember my view when the offense isn't producing runs. I don't think there's a player on the Mets roster that didn't want Pete's bat in the lineup.
Mets fans are divas. You sign a generational hall of fame player for the largest contact in sports history and are still complaining? Alonso hasn’t been a great player the past 2 seasons, giving him 30M per year is insanity
Not all Mets fans are divas, Noah. Just the ones that don't fully understand the logistics of things in the reality of sports. I agree, he's not worth the type of money he's seeking... no way. While he still hits homeruns, there's more to the sport than that... Keith Hernandez was a perfect example when he played first base for the Mets back in the day. I feel the Mets are not done just yet... but we should move on already with the Pete Alonso soap opera.
Divas? Yearly the Yankees try to buy world champions by going after the best players on the market on one year rentals. When the season is a failure they cry when those dudes accept a longer contract with another team then blast them on the way out. How the Yankees treat players is disgraceful on top of how the fan base treats the opposing players on the field. IE Betts during the World Series. Straight up criminal what those fans did to Betts
Pete Alonso hurts the Mets since he too often strikes out…he has no clue of the strike zone other than a fish tank where is continues to fish at every ball in the strike zone..
Some Mets fans need to get over the homegrown guy stuff. Alonso had a down year. It's a business at the end of the day. You don't want to be paying a guy in his 30's silly money for emotional reasons.
Alonso had two bad years on top of 175 K’s on the season which means he’s either striking out or looking for the big hit. We can’t have that batting behind Soto and Lindor.
It's a baseball decision. Stearns wants athletic players and payroll flexibility. It;s the right move and I don't blame either side if they part ways. Pete is really only a one tool player.
The Mets are still willing to give him three years. They are willing to pay him a high annual salary for three years . Alonso is turning them down yet again, just like he turned down the big contract in 2023. I’m personally getting sick of his antics. You don’t want to sign a contract here then go scratch off in Seattle in front of an empty stadium batting .230 for the next five years.
@@cloud1stclass372 Alonso is trying to bet on himself like Soto did when he turned down 400 mill from the nationals. However, Soto is a generational talent. He’s proven it, every teams he’s played on made it to the playoffs. Alonso is NOT Soto. People griping about Sotos defense, in todays MLB offense gets players paid not the glove
@@popthetrunkk6500 I guess you never played baseball... First base is the easiest position in the infield... If he can play third base.. First base will be a breeze
I'm fine with him going if that's what it comes down to. He only has his agent to blame and I don't want someone like him on the team anyone. I'm over him and have been for quite some time.
Alonso could put up the best stats in his career with that lineup, considering everyone stays healthy. Pete will sign a one year deal somewhere, like Conforto 👍🏾
Signing Vladdy is nowhere near a guarantee. If the Mets don’t sign Vladdy next year then where’s the big bat this lineup needs. Pete coming back especially for 3 years would be huge. Bump the money up and lock him up. Next years free agent class is very weak.
This off-season is going exactly the same way as my MLB the show 24 season is going. And we won the World Series. Except I was playing third base and I was a 99 overall. 😂😂😂😂
We're seeing the Soto signing have a definite effect on our ability to sign more elite talent. Right now our offense is a little better because Soto out performs Pete on average and skill. That's about it our pitching staff is another project. As the roster sits we either have to place Lindor at clean up or trust our young talent Vientos. I know the way Lindor flourish at the top no way he willingly changes to the cleanup spot. That leaves Vientos to protect Soto seems like a lot to ask. Once again the way we sit we're at the 4th or 5th spot in the NL. Dodgers, Braves healthy, Phillies and we can argue we're better or worse than the Padres. Playoff team this year certainly, championship team? No.
People blaming boras is funny. Boras is an agent his job is supposed to be greedy BUT he’s overpricing Alonso talent. Alonso maybe talented but he’s def not 200 mill talent.. What Alonso needs to accept he is not a 200 mill player. His average the past two season hurt him a lot plus 175 K’s is not very appealing. I’m a diehard Mets fan I’m trusting what Stearns is doing. Stearns focus is to turn the Mets into an offensive powerhouse, which we need to be in order to contend in our own division let along the dodgers. We need to go all in on Vlad.
I know Soto has been praised as God in hitting these days. The reality though, he has never hit more than 40 HR before this season. One thing he did extremely well is that he walks, A LOT, The problem though is that he could not run and walks do not win the games ... and, I am not saying Alonso is a better player or whatsoever, but the fact is that he hit 25 more HR in 6 years than Soto did in 7 years. One player is worthy of $765M for 15 years, the other not even 30M for 1 or 2 years? I think Alonso should feel disrespected.
Look at how many clutch hits Juan Soto has hit in his career compared to Pete Alonso... It's not even close... Pete Alonso strikes out too many times in clutch situations and Soto doesn't plain and simple
@@willjets2305 Alonso just came off his worst season, while Soto had his best, batting ahead of Judge. Let's see if they will repeat this next year. My guess is that it is unlikely for both. Regarding clutch (postseason), Soto no doubt had a much smaller K percentage. But other numbers such as BA, SLUG, and OPS are not that different.
@@xiaobiaoxu5984but he's clutch and doesn't strike out not just in the playoffs but all season long. Soto won't be swinging at breaking pitches in the dirt like Alonso does. It's comparing a great hitter to a bad one simple as that
Payers are usually at their best from 25 to 32 so that’s all you need to know if there that good at 25 you can lock in 6 hall of fame years for these guys Alonso is 30 and number are declining take your emotions out and look at it from a 3rd person point of view
Alonso was offered a fair contract but he thinks he's Juan Soto and Scott boras trying to play the same game he did with soto difference is Alonso is not soto not even close
You spend a boat load of money for soto...then you don't provide protection in the lineup??? Doesn't make sense....want big numbers from lindor and soto...get some protection
3yrs for 90mil is not a homegrown discount there. He turned it down. Come back for the 3yrs and prove your not going down hill and get another contract. I am tired of all ballplayers arguing that there worth more for playing a kids game. Its disgusting and is bad for the game
@stormvillians I agree with you on Soto for sure but I don't think Pete is worth 30 either tho. In my opinion and yes I know it doesn't count but I say these guys are making way too much money
All the 1B Free Agents within the market have signed elsewhere (outside of Alonso) and they all signed Market Value deals, but Pete wants well above Market price. 3 years for $70M with multiple opt outs was more than fair at $23.3M AAV, so that way he can test his luck again next year and try again to get closer to $30M, if he does well enough and gets back to 2022 form. Yet, he wanted at least $30M AAV, after possibly the worst year of his career? I'm sorry, but for a guy who has below average defense (albeit he does give his all at the bag), no consistent contact, high strikeout rate, and only offers plus to elite level power, he's not worth that tag. That's like Giving Adam Dunn $30M a year, except Dunn had more consistent power outputs. It's a business, I get it, but he's (more so Boras and Co. I feel) are valuing the wrong things, especially since he claims he wants to return to the Mets. I mean the saga isn't over, he's gonna test the waters a lot more now, but let's see where he pivots and where the Mets go too. It's not dead until he put the pen to the paper.
I just dont believe he is that good, Im not paying him 30 mil a year either, just doesnt make sense to me. If he was worth that much how come no one is beating down the doors to give it to him????
He’s not good and he won’t age well. You don’t sign people just because you drafted them and they are a nice person. You have to think with your head instead of your heart. In the end it’s about winning instead of playing on emotions signing a player just because “you love him”
Icons do not put up great stats and aren't any good at defense...move on from Alonso or pay the price in the long run. Stearns doesn't play games so its all in Alonso's "ballpark".
Vlad jr has a great arm and he plays first base. His running as improved he's beat out some throws to first last season he also hits .330 which is 100+ more than Alonso.
I'd rather overpay for Pete for 3 years opposed to spending 4 or 5 hundred million on Vladdy and have your payroll hampered for all those years. Vladdy doesn't look like he profiles to be a great player for the next 10 years maybe 6 or 7 at most. He has better average and is marginally better defensively but fewer HR's and RBI's. 100 million for Pete is a lot better investment than giving vladdy 4 or 500 million for maybe 10 or 12 years.
@@jmartinez9332 WHAT?? You better go to the stats and compare the two. Vlad is a beast. Batted 330 for the season and 30 homers. I can’t believe I just read that. We have the richest owner in baseball. You’d rather overpay Alonso instead of going after a 330 power hitting in Vlad?? Yeah you’re crazy.
No it's not your met card has been revoked. Vlad jr is waaaay better than Alonso and is projected to put up better numbers he's a .330 hitter and has hit 50 homeruns before
You have no understanding what a mercenary is. Soto was traded b/c team knew they couldn’t afford him & they wanted to get value, he didn’t choose to be traded.
No he's not worth 30 million a year and any mets fan that thinks he is because he's a home grown player... That mentality is the reason why the Mets haven't won a world championship since 1986
Are you really comparing Soto Alonso… Soto has a great eye at the plate. He’s a generational talent on top of that he doesn’t swing at garbage. Alonso is talented BUT he’s not elite talent. That home grown fan favorite won’t win you a trophy.
I agree that Vlad is better but I'm not giving away the farm for him. I would rather overpay short term like 3 years for Pete because we keep our farm. Instead of Vladdy via trade or free agency Id rather get Kyle Tucker for example who's much better than both. To reiterate i also agree Vlad is better but not if we're trading the farm.
@@21babyjoker yea some are delusional and apparently think Soto and Lindor can win a WS by themselves. It’s worse than the Yankees last year and the Yankees got easily beat by the Dodgers. This team has no chance. I love Lindor, but Judge is the best hitter in baseball. Now we just have a weaker 1-2 punch in Lindor, Soto than the Yankees last year, except they also have no pitching. I’m old enough to know to never get my hopes up with this team though. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. They’re not fooling me anymore. That’s for sure.
@@Dan-tt8sn I trust the process. This is a negotiation tactic. The whole Giants are interested, and Blue Jays are interested is to get the other side to break.
how? we signed juan soto actually have great prospects, have a good system and didn't let boras bully us into overpaying for Alonso... I bet u if we signed alonso and he sucked you'd be first in line to say fire the management
I really hope the martino curse is real. Sorry dude. Usually opposite of what you say which I really hope is the case. We need Pete. We are the fans. We want Pete. Screw the trend. Def gonna be shots fired by Stearns if team slips. This is ridiculous he means the world to us fans
I like Pete, the Mets initially gave him a 7 year deal worth nearly $160M, he dclined. There is no market for him and Scott Boras knows that. The Mets final offer was 3y/90M with opt outs every year. He still didn't reconsider. He had a subpar year and the Mets still offered him a more than fair avv.
We don’t need Pete he’s overrated. Poor numbers with RISP. Compiles his numbers in garbage time. He’s not good and he won’t age well. You don’t sign people just because you drafted them and they are a nice person. You have to think with your head instead of your heart. In the end it’s about Winning with players who are going to come through and put up strong numbers across the board like Vlad jr. Pete is only going to decline. His at bats always go the same way, it’s rinse and repeat.

And you're an idgit!
Mets are being too complacent forgetting they have to contend vs the Phillies again who have Bryce Harper and tres Turner and the braves
He's just a backup.
I agree that Vlad is better but I'm not giving away the farm for him. I would rather overpay short term like 3 years for Pete because we keep our farm. Instead of Vladdy via trade or free agency Id rather get Kyle Tucker for example who's much better than both. To reiterate i also agree Vlad is better but not if we're trading the farm.
It’s getting tough to be a Mets fan again.
We signed Juan Soto 😂😂😂,
@@21babyjoker yea some are delusional and apparently think Soto and Lindor can win a WS by themselves. It’s worse than the Yankees last year and the Yankees got easily beat by the Dodgers. This team has no chance. I love Lindor, but Judge is the best hitter in baseball. Now we just have a weaker 1-2 punch in Lindor, Soto than the Yankees last year, except they also have no pitching. I’m old enough to know to never get my hopes up with this team though. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. They’re not fooling me anymore. That’s for sure.
@@Dan-tt8snSi judge es el mejor en regular y en playoff es un mojon durisimo
@@Dan-tt8sn I trust the process. This is a negotiation tactic. The whole Giants are interested, and Blue Jays are interested is to get the other side to break.
how? we signed juan soto actually have great prospects, have a good system and didn't let boras bully us into overpaying for Alonso... I bet u if we signed alonso and he sucked you'd be first in line to say fire the management
I really hope the martino curse is real. Sorry dude. Usually opposite of what you say which I really hope is the case. We need Pete. We are the fans. We want Pete. Screw the trend. Def gonna be shots fired by Stearns if team slips. This is ridiculous he means the world to us fans
I like Pete, the Mets initially gave him a 7 year deal worth nearly $160M, he dclined. There is no market for him and Scott Boras knows that. The Mets final offer was 3y/90M with opt outs every year. He still didn't reconsider. He had a subpar year and the Mets still offered him a more than fair avv.
We don’t need Pete he’s overrated. Poor numbers with RISP. Compiles his numbers in garbage time. He’s not good and he won’t age well. You don’t sign people just because you drafted them and they are a nice person. You have to think with your head instead of your heart. In the end it’s about Winning with players who are going to come through and put up strong numbers across the board like Vlad jr. Pete is only going to decline. His at bats always go the same way, it’s rinse and repeat.
This is true Alonso and boras are playing the greedy game he's gonna leave poor Alonso unemployed@@dr.manhattan4537
We have the top bid on the table. If Alonso thinks it's not good enough, let him enjoy his retirement.
@ booo you even watch this team or are just a RUclips troll
