He has to be crazy. Let him walk and try to get Bregman or try to make a trade for Vlady Jr. And also try to sign Tanner Scott to make a 1-2 punch with Edwin Diaz.
Ok 9 years is ridiculous! I've been defending him every step of the way but Im tapping out after this news because 9 years is as I said ridiculous to be asking for
It's not news; it's a rumor from one source that hasn't been confirmed by anybody of note. For all we know it was an offhand comp as Boras tries to get the Mets to up their offer by 10-20m.
@@AWaywardWriter might be rumor but it makes total sense why we are in Jan 2025 and he hasn't signed with anyone -nobody is even offering 5 years - Scott screwed this up again
You can’t go with a journeyman first baseman. Were win now, you can’t use a year if Soto’s prime to surround him with that type of player. Sign Pete for 3 years or sign Bregman for 4 years, or try a Vlad Jr trade. We need to be patient to get a player on our terms.
@luiscotto8405 not talking about 1st base I'm talking pen but as far as 1st goes if it's not Pete I personally would like to see Clifford come up and play it he profiles as a 1st base/DH so why not see what we have with him he has a ton of power! I'll be honest I want Pete there so sterns needs to leave the dollar store and stop being cheap and sign him already Pete has performed every year weather you say he had down years the last 2 years or not and by the way if 40+ and 30+ are "down years" then everyone has set the bar so damn high only judge and ohtani can reach it and that's not at all fair to Pete so my take it or leave it deal to Pete would be 5 years 135 million (27 aav) with an opt out after year 2 and vesting options for the 6th and 7th year (27 aav) plus escalators so that's total 7 years 189 million plus whatever the escalators are and what they would total it's a fair deal for both sides this is the only way he's getting any kind of lt deal if he opts out fine good luck and if he doesn't he plays up to the vesting years and if it doesn't vest then he's gone so both sides are insured sorta speak
If you add '10' to Wright's number 5, you get "15". 15 was the number worn by Jerry Grote, the greatest defensive catcher in Mets history. Grote played on the 69 championship team and the penant winning 73 team. The Mets really missed the biat on not retiring this number, but instead just did a uniform patch with Bud Harrelson's '3'.
Wardy, I feel like what Alex and Steve have done to elevate our past players and place more focus on Mets history while building a truly Mets-based culture is highly underrated and not covered enough. Great callouts. Let’s get Pete and LFGM!!!!
Take the 3yrs 90M with the opt outs. Hit at least 270, 50 plus homers 100 plus RBI’s and go back on the market. If you believe in yourself then what’s the problem.
I'm glad Mets fans are finally joining the Tanner Scott bandwagon. I've been calling for this for two months and even before that at the trading deadline lol
If Boras is to be taken seriously, he would've used the Fielder contract as a basis in negotiations for his 1st base clients since then. Since he didn't, we would've heard about it, the market always defaults to the most recent contracts for similar players. This is a power play aimed at making Alonso feel less anxious about Boras' mishandling of his free agency. I'm so glad the Mets now have a competent POBO that won't react emotionally.
I would love to have the Polar Bear back. But I am beginning to think of telling them we are seriously looking at other options if they don't become more realists in the contract negotiation.
Enough is enough ..... For Alonso, anything greater than 3 is questionable but 9 years is insane .... look at all the Mets "prospects" and ask yourself, where are they going to play? Nimmo and Soto are OF locks for the next several years .... Lindor is a lock at SS .... Vientos is at least a DH (if not 3B or 1B) for the foreseeable future ..... if Acuna and Williams are likely 2B or CF where does that leave Clifford, Gilbert, Mauricio and Parada. Time to utilize these assets and go for Vladdy, tell Pete to take a hike and lock up 1B (Vladdy) and 3B or DH (Vientos) for the long term ..... Lindor(SS)-Soto(RF)-Vlad (1B)-Vientos (DH)-Alvarez (C)- Bregman -or- Arenado (3B)-Nimmo (LF)-Acuna/Williams (2B)-Siri/Taylor (CF) is an awesome lineup ..... Pitching and Bullpen will still be achilles heals but addressable. I wish Stern would stop screwing around and lock this roster down.
Hey @WardyNYM what do you think about this for pete? 5 years 135 million (27 aav) opt out after year 2 with vesting options for a 6th and 7th (27 aav) plus escalators take it or leave it!
If Boston is aiming a hard pursuit of Vlady next year then it makes no sense for them to acquire Arenado unless they’re able to convince one of Vladdy or Devers to be DH. I know the latter wants to play on the field so will Vladdy be ok being a full time DH at his age??
Maybe using the example of a power hitter who was an All Star then he got a long contract, imploded, got bought out, and retired by age 33 isn't the best way to sell yourself Pete.
I want what boras and pete and smoking because goddamn it must be strong. Mets need to pivot from this drama because this is beyond ridiculous. Let this bum walk unbelievable
I can see many players on the market want to go to a winner or a team that is going to the playoffs. Even for a smaller contract or $$$. No star player wants to go to a team rebuilding or going nowhere. As that can bring a player down
Sterns isn't really a "Spend on pitching guy" so I don't think we get scott. In fact i don't think we get any big piece currently left on the market. Maybe MAYBE Alanso.
Bring in Scott , arendo wud be nice if Pete doesn’t sign , bregman doesn’t seem like he’s gunna be a met but I wud take him , sasaki and a healthy senga cud completely change the look of tbjs rotation . Happy to have manaea back he’s a beast
Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye PETE , you are crazy. You know what my grandmother is actually pretty tall. She’s about 6 foot one. She was an athlete in college. I’d say give her a glove and if you could double her Social Security payments she’ll probably do it. She’ll play first base for the Mets
@@chalkbunt81 he’s much older than grandma so he’s past her his prime. Grandma is still in her prime and she’s very agile. She walks 6 miles a day and swims 45 minutes a day and is leaner than Pete. Maybe not as strong but leaner.. They are both huge Mets fans and I think he would be digging the fact that his wife is a New York Met.
@@rickcuban322 , she sounds too good for the rotation. Better off having her strong hands mash the potatoes. Let Gramps do the pitching. He's about at our current rotation's skill level. Lol
The report that Alonso is asking for 9 years is complete nonsense. That aside, there seems to be some real smoke around the Tanner Scott situation. I know that Stearns is not big on contracts for relief pitchers, but adding Scott -- to go along with Diaz, Nunez, Garrett, etc. -- could be the kind of "lock down" backend relief group that can be devastating. So, I certainly hope the Scott situation is more fire than just smoke.
Soto, Guerrero and viantos you don t worry about hitting for the next 10 years ! What do you guys think ? …. Don t need Scott just good closers like Robinson .
We should acknowledge this is all Boras. Pete would never say this out loud and it’s Boras’ job to try to get the most for his client. No hard feelings from anyone who’s been involved in negotiations at any level of business. It’s up to the Mets to Remain rationale and if someone else takes that deal, it is what it is. Pete wins and that team loses in the long run.
I would love to see Pete Alonso back in a Mets uniform, but it seems like Boras is going to prevent that from happening. 5 years max at $160-170 million in today's market is fair. Yes, Alonso has power, but he doesn't hit for average. Stop it Pete, you're not Freeman or Olsen and they have the same type of contract and a better overall first basemen.
9 years!?!?!??! Did I hear that correctly???? 9 years?!?!?!?!?!?! HELL NO! There is not one team on the planet that would sign Alonso for 9 years. He will get 4 years at most. Even then that's a stretch! Good lord! Pete, run away from Boras. Run as fast as you can!
By the way, people have been talking about Nolan Arenado you would think he’s like washed up to do the pure hitter. I think he’s far from washed up I would take him in a heartbeat.
I think Boras knows that 9 years is unrealistic. This seems to be a tactic to have the Mets meet in the middle. 6 years 175-200 is what I think is the target for Boras and Alonso.
I’m not sure if it’s Pete or if it’s Boras who is the culprit here but one of them is destroying Pete’s legacy relationship with the fan base. 9 years isn’t just unreasonable, it’s irresponsible.
@@chalkbunt81 who knows what he wants? I think I know what David Stearns wants, and that is Vlad for next season at 1st base. As for Pete - Mets already offered him more than he deserves based on past two years.
😳 I would tell Boras and Alonso thank you but no thank you and we are moving on. Even if it's just a bluff, but in no world would I give Alonso even close to 9 years and I love Pete. 🤷🏻♂️
Not sure if this is true but I heard on another platform that Pete has a preference in teams to play for and the Mets are not even in the top 5 of that list……..🤨
Pete has said in the past he’s the “most valuable”first baseman since Prince Fielder. If Fielder got over $200M twelve years ago, why can’t Pete get over $200M now? - Scott Boras
Because he’s NOT the most valuable 1st baseman since Prince Fielder, who frankly fleeced the rangers with that ridiculous contract….i know he had to retire prematurely because of injuries but still…..
I’d love for Alonso to come back on a 5-6 year deal and do a trade for Arenado. This would be beyond great for short and long term. Arenado isn’t going to cost much. Rockies are paying down his contract and St. Louis is said to be sending money to the team acquiring Arenado. Mets would still be set up to make a move for Vladdy next year if they wanted him. Arenado can be traded again/cut/bench or utility role. Vientos back to 3rd with Vladdy and Alonso taking over the 1B and DH spots. Vientos can also play some games in outfield if really needed on days Arenado plays 3rd. Arenado has also said he’d play other positions (2b). There would be no need to cut Arenado in the 2nd year but it’s a possibility in the 3rd year (if he sucks) where his salary would be less then 15 million.

I’d love for Alonso to come back on a 5-6 year deal and do a trade for Arenado. This would be beyond great for short and long term. Arenado isn’t going to cost much. Rockies are paying down his contract and St. Louis is said to be sending money to the team acquiring Arenado. Mets would still be set up to make a move for Vladdy next year if they wanted him. Arenado can be traded again/cut/bench or utility role. Vientos back to 3rd with Vladdy and Alonso taking over the 1B and DH spots. Vientos can also play some games in outfield if really needed on days Arenado plays 3rd. Arenado has also said he’d play other positions (2b).
There would be no need to cut Arenado in the 2nd year but it’s a possibility in the 3rd year (if he sucks) where his salary would be less then 15 million.
