Bullpens are the most difficult and trickiest components for baseball teams to assemble and manage. Other than the closer role, it's always a good idea to have relievers on fairly short-term contracts in case they get injured or end up being ineffective, which oftentimes happens. In Minter, the Mets get a left-hander on a two year deal with an opt-out, who has been mostly effective throughout his career and has playoff experience. If he's fully recovered from his left hip impingement surgery, it will prove to be an excellent signing.
Pete BLEW IT. He chose to sign with Boras. Then He pressed the whole season. Finished with 88 RBI. Nimmo missed 6 weeks and had 91. Lindor had 91 and missed two weeks out of the Lead off spot. And Vientos didn't start full time until June and got 71. Long and short. The market showed that Pete isn't worth what Boras told him he was.
Worse for Pete, he WASN'T pressing. He was declining the way slow, fat 1Bman soon to be 30 tend overwhelmingly to decline. Jesus, son, RBI are a team stat. Wilmer Flores (!) would have had 90-95% of Pete's RBIs in 2020-2021 if he had the same opportunities with the same runners on instead of often batting 7th, 8th, and 9th for the Giants. Pete deserves this. No one made him become greedy. No one made him lie about wanting to remain with the Mets for his entire career, or turn down an offer far better than what he's sniffed anywhere else, or hire Boras, or fail to commission his own studies of how front offices had come to view R-R bad defensive 1Bmen turning 30. Who's the half-wit calling Pete 'one of the best power hitters in the game' when his SLG, the ONLY thing he does above average, was a mere .459, 40th in MLB? The commentary on this issue only shows the ignorance of sports commenters. It's impressive, in its way. 5:50 - You still don't get it. The Mets DON'T WANT ALONSO. They made an offer he wouldn't accept to get rid of him. He's the ex-gf who won't go away but who keeps hoping if she embarrasses you enough in public that you'll relent and take her back. There are a hundred ways the Mets can better spend the 30m Alonso wants on a short term deal. They can add Flaherty SP + David Robertson for the AAV Alonso wants. Who actually thinks they'd be better off with Alonso but without Flaherty and Robertson??
@@johnstrawb3521Mets are going to lose. Trash rotation. Mediocre lineup and decent bullpen is not going to beat the Dodgers. That’s for sure. not even going to beat the Braves
@@BeTheBallDanny I don’t worry about a sport I’m not contributing to in any way. It is just obvious the Dodgers are the better team and the Braves will be better too if they stay healthy this year.
Your On Prozac!! .. lol You 🫵Must be A Imposter ! … YANKEE FAN? lol We had a better offensive lineup then The Yankees last season hands down . In All of MLB we were pound for pound the 2nd Best team in the Majors!! Look it up liver lips 👄! 😅
Pete's Old Agent: Hey, I negotiated a deal that pays you in line with Freddie Freeman and Matt Olson.
Pete Alonso: You are fired.
Pete brought this upon himself!
It's not Uncle Steve putting his foot in the sand. He hired a President of Baseball Operations to do his job.
Also, they get a pick if he walks.

You hope.
He’s worth 3/85
Go get Kirby Yates..... they won't regret it.
Nah, Re-Sign Ryan Stanek.
LGM World Champs 2025..
Mets will sign Pete. This is just Stearns playing hard ball w Boras and Boras trying what he can while he can.
Pete screwed Pete!

Mets suck. Mediocre lineup. Trash rotation. And a decent bullpen is not going to win you anything
