Forget all that
Glad he is back with us. Good luck Pete.
About time, welcome back Big Pete, LGM ⚾
“Leave the home run derby alone”. Welcome back Pete.
So glad Polar Bear is back! 🎉❤😊
If your a Boras client that is over 29 years old, this is how it goes.
Good luck Pete Alonso , WELL DESERVED and now back a Met
He took the mets offer,because their was no other offer.The mets did him a favor..Thats what it comes down too
Exactly. If any team actually wanted him he would have signed a month ago.
Yessss!!@

They knew he wanted to be with New York..It was always a given...Blame the Sports"journalists" for this....
It is an overpay, put a reasonable one. If Pete’s decline is irreversible, for a few million extra, they aren’t saddled with a long term contract. If he has a rebound year, they can revisit the future.
@kayemtee5312 I totally agree. I really don't think his decline is irreversible. Heck,I wouldn't mind 34 Hrs and 88 RBI as a down year. The man's only 30,for God's sake!!
IT IS AN INSULT TO PETE ALONSO.
@@homerunhitters333
The highest paid first baseman in MLB after the crappy year he had and a chance to prove the last two years were a fluke? How is that an insult?
@kayemtee5312 PETE ALONSO HAD A PHENOMENAL SEASON LAST YEAR SCORING 92 RUNS, 46 HOMERUNS, AND 118 RBI. PETE.ALONSO HAD A MAGICAL SEASON THIS YEAR 2024 SCORING 91 RUNS, 34 HR, 88 RBI, A HISTORIC POSTSEASON HITTING 10 RUNS, 4 HOMERUNS, 10 RBI, 1.007 OPS, PETE ALONSO LED THE METS IN HOMERUNS, CARRIED THE METS ON HIS BACK ALL SEASON, DESPITE BEING DEMOTED TO 7 AND 8 IN THE LINEUP BY STEARNS AND COHEN IN HIS CONTRACT YEAR, AND SAVED THE METS SEASON WITH HISTORICALLY UNPRECEDENTED CLUTCH HOMERUN HITTING AND SINlGLEHANDEDLY CARRIED THE METS INTO THE POSTSEASON, ALL THE WAY TO GAME 6 OF THE NLCS. PETE ALONSO HAD A PHENOMENAL.PAST 2 YEARS. OVER THE PAST 6 YEARS OF HIS CAREER, PETE ALONSO HAS HIT MORE HOMERUNS AND RBI THAN OHTANI, JUDGE, STANTON, SOTO, FREEMAN, OLSEN, OR ANY PLAYER IN BASEBALL. PETE ALONSO IS THE GREATEST OFFENSIVE FORCE OF HIS GENERATION. COHEN HAS DIGRACEFULLY UNDERPAID PETE ALONSO TO TRY TO DRIVE HIN AWAY. PETE ALONSO TOOK LESS MONEY TO RETURN TO PLAY FOR THE FANS WHO LOVE AND RESPECT HIM.
Thank God 🙌
Why did Pete choose the Mets offer?
Simple. It was the only one.
COHEN AND STEARNS TRIED TO DRIVE HIM AWAY WITH THIS INSULTING OFFER. PETE ALONSO VALUED HIS FANS AND HIS TEAM MORE THAN MONEY.
@@homerunhitters333 Going to have to disagree with you on this one. A couple weeks ago at that Mets event, Cohen told the fans that the negotiations were tough and that they would probably move on if things didn't change. If the Mets didn't want Pete, they would not have made any offer. They just didn't want to get ripped off. Pete only hits HR's. He doesn't get on base, he doesn't hit for average, he doesn't run well and he's a below average defender. He's averaged 2.9 WAR over the last 2 years. Also, the Mets offer that was on the table (3/$72) was the highest offer of any team and now he is the highest AAV first basemen in the league. Mets wanted Pete but not at a ridiculous contract. Pete bet on himself and lost. Regardless, I'm glad he's back. Wish it was for 3 years but 1 is better than nothing. He will obviously opt out after year 1

@@homerunhitters333omg grow up
@@frankanon4450 COHEN AND STEARNS TRIED TO INSULT PETE ALONSO WITH THEIR MEAGER OFFER. COHEN AND STEARNS NEVER THOUGHT PETE ALONSO WOULD TAKE LESS MONEY TO RETURN TO THE METS FANS WHO LOVE HIM AND CEMENT HIS LEGACY AS THE GREATEST MET OF ALL TIME.
Boras is still tripping over the Juan Soto money. He sold Petey a can of worms. The 7-year $158 mill pre-Stearns deal is looking pretty generous now, but we're all geniuses in hindsight. I want to see Alonso make Francessa eat his words about aging badly (something Mikey knows a lot about)
I still contend that this has been more about turning 30 (the new 40 in metric terms) than it does having an "off" year in '24. Pete does not have to carry the power burden on his back anymore with Vientos and Soto in the lineup. I think we'll see that average and RBI totals up in '25.
Idk he seems like he's on a serious decline
His offensive numbers are down two years running and his strikeouts are up. That's a decline.
This was the best he was gonna get. From an AAV value.
Sad for Pete he deserves more man. But he should have taken the 145 for 7 yrs the first time .
Exactly got greedy glad he’s bacc
You said it right there! But that's Alonso's mistake, isn't it?
Agreed 💯
Yeah...NO
@philipwittke8491 Nobody asked for your opinion fool !!
This is terrific. I would put Pete batting in front of Soto, he’d get better pitches to hit.
Ain't happening
lol no way! Soto would be walked every at bat
Should’ve fired Boras and let his old agent get the commission
Having Soto is only gonna help Pete's numbers
Now they got a team !!!
Jim there should be a press conference
Alonso should fire Boras Asap
Pete has zero leverage.
Alonso should also get a reality check on himself, bruh. He had a long term deal (before Boras) and turned it down, getting greedy. Boras didn't put a gun on his head and said Pete had to sign with him. That was Alonso's doing. He's a big boy now... let him learn his lesson like a man.
Don't know why Boras keeps getting hired these days? He keeps missing over and over unless he has the super high profile. player like Soto anyone could get a big deal for... Soto could have negotiated for himself and got 700 plus million..
Welcome home, Pete... LFGM 🍎
Contract talks in the past .Welcome back Pete
Really glad I don’t have to put my Alonso jersey in box
Kinda had to for both parties. I hope Pete took a lot of Slider batting practice this off season. Has a great season and kicks sand in the faces of those he feels wronged by. Footnote… Boris is a Shithead and bad for our Game. This didn’t have to linger. Should’ve been wrapped up awhile ago.
andy martino "reports" on other journalist's reporting.
For the credibility of the network, keep this guy as far away as possible
Pete wasn't "undervalued," he overvalued himself. I'm glad he's back but he is the one who hired Boras and misread the market.
Finally
This is a one-on-one conversation. Why is the interviewer shouting every word?
He had no choice. Lost over 100 mil by turning down the 2023 extension.. Sad and honestly embarrassing. Lets be honest he had no other real offers..
But I thought Cohen was EXHAUSTED, by the negotiations!!! Over this? Liar
Should not have taken this long
Doesn't matter now, it's done
Well, it did. That part wasn't fun but it was sure worth the wait.
Imagine if Pete didn't take the Mets offer. The only offer he had. He might not be playing baseball at all in 2025
How does Soto get 15 years,Pete only 2! We know the last 6-7 years of Soto contract is going to be a disaster ! 😳Soto is gonna blow some games in the outfield,shaky defense! Yet Pete is mistreated!😖
He had no other offers
He peaked awhile back...he was in cruse conttol... When he bat's. 280 or .290 consistently plus lowers strikeouts I'll pay attention...half these guys bat .220 and think there're Willy May's?? We've see his best, time soon younger, raw talent.
Polar Bear back in the house. LGM
So Pete had to settle because no one else really wanted him ...He's an Adam Dunn is all who wants Judge money...He's just not that good
Pete signed because the marked in full all the teams have what they need and we are 2 weeks away from the first spring training game so time ran out. I love the Mets I love Pete Alonso but do not expect him to be happy it's going to be awkward being in that clubhouse knowing it's not your team anymore and the disrespect that they showed him. It's like the Mets said hey we got Soto now we don't need you
Preferred Christian Walker, but one year hitting behind Soto, he should be ok.
Pete must be embarrassed. Shoulda taken that deal a year ago. As a Met fan, I hope he doesn't fold again like a cheap tent, playing out the year to test the market again.
Not at all brother. Not at all. The guy is back with his team and the guy is making 27 million dollars.
Yeah and thats his fault for listening to Boras
I think he understands these things are not easily done. Are you a Mets fan? Pete Alonso is back with our team for 2 more years to play 1st base and to remain being a part of the lineup now that finally has the xfactor in it that the Mets and the fans have been waiting for.
And this is what you're thinking and saying ? Hey, he's back with the team he wants to be with the most and he'll be making more than plenty of money. I think he's happy. You should too. You can trust that last year was a super test and a super learning experience for him. A down year for this man comes with 34 bombs and 80+ Rbis, not to mention all the fantastic plays he made at 1st and all the errant throws he saved with his glove picking skills.
This is a very intelligent player who went through a really tough year to say the least. You best to believe that he learned from such a tough year and from what he was able to overcome to show up during the post season.
I have this snap shot with him and Lindor on my phone. They're both looking at each other with so much thrill and excitement as they're celebrating. I wish I could share it here. Lindor the captain of the infield wanted him back. McNeil got his best friend back.
Now he will have the great patience of Soto with him on the team and that will help him big time. That great eye of Soto along with his entire hitting approach at the plate is going to merge with the entire lineup. Mets fans should be celebrating right now. I'am.
Is Mendoza going to make the lineup up like I want it? Probably not but it's going to be the best lineup of all the lineups the Mets ever had.
Pete is back and Soto is a New York Met. 🥂
@@jason7638 Being a Mets fan means everyone is still entitled to their opinions, bruh. And it's not a long term contract that he wanted... so he won't be here for long. Fact is Alonso gambled and lost because he got greedy. So don't sugarcoat the obvious here. Next year he'll be gone because the Mets have bigger fish to reel in... namely Vlad Guerrero Jr and Kyle Tucker. Remember, the game of sports is more a business than anything else now... more than ever. What does that mean to you? It means that the Mets are not holding dear to past glory or accomplishments. And well they shouldn't. Just as players (like Pete) are looking to get more money, baseball owners are also looking out for their best interests... in this case the Mets know they can do so much better if they don't panic like you fans out there and stick to their principles by carefully seeing what's in the horizon for next year's free agency!
Embarrassed. What are you bringing home this year?
Strikes out too much to protect Soto in the lineup.
COHEN AND STEARNS TRIED TO DRIVE HIM AWAY WITH THIS INSULTING OFFER. PETE ALONSO VALUED HIS FANS AND HIS TEAM MORE THAN MONEY.
be happy with generational wealth seen by less then most likely 5 % of this country i am not bitter or envious its all about health of course be happy with what u have i really dont need 5 mansions 10 100k cars etc... anyway (these days with insurance skyrocketing)
Welcome Back Polar bear pete
Premiere...lols
What a joke this has been
If pete is smart he fires boras .
Polar Bear Pete back in Queens LFGMTS 2025
Alonzo new this time was running out for his age and wasn't going to get the money
We don’t need an overweight 210 hitter. Trade him.
Lols😂
Sure we do, we are missing a playing mascot ever since Vogelfat left
We dont need you
He had no choice
He swings at every pitch out of the strike zone and is slower than a snail. If no one wanted him this year, no one will want him in 2026.
That's why we walked 2nd most in his career. Issue he hit more rounders than ever before.
I hope he fires boras, he doesn’t have his best interest in mind
Alonso could opt out after this season. And same dumb thing happen again❗
🤪😜😝
Then vlad is free agent
As is, it's just a two yr contract... people seem delusional here... it's not a long term contract, folks! In fact he'll probably be gone after this year because it's no secret the Mets are going to be going after Vlad Guerrero Jr and Kyle Ticker in the off season.
Pete is an average player.
Because you’re average player blasts 40+ HR every year
Avg players don’t play all 162 + postseason get real fair weather fan
@@jayalexander5534 Your hero didn't hit 40+ HR last year... and that's all he's good for. Remember he only signed for two yrs with an option out after this season... and you know why? Because he know the Mets are going after a far better player who's younger as well in the form of Vlad Guerrero Jr. in the off season.
@Alchemist718 So he played 162 games... big deal. That alone doesn't make him a superstar which he isn't. Fact is, his overall production has gone down the past three years... at the end of this year he'll be gone because he knows the Mets have someone else to sign next yr who's a better offensive player and is younger.
@@jayalexander5534 a career batting average under .250 is average. He’s also an average fielder. Enjoy the Mets paying that much for so little. Same old Mets.
Actually.... Pete....if he chose to.... could have another underwhelming season this year and then still grab a nice deal after next year if his numbers are good next year. He literally has two opportunities in front of him to get a big contract. Of course....if he has a poor season this year he would have to accept the second year of the Mets contract instead of opting out
My point of view is a different… this guy was second to only Aron judge in the home runs !!! Why he isn’t even close to making same money… 💰
Not been clutch in 2 seasons
