Tyler, the Mets will not bite like you think with this offer as their are probably a lot of things demanded within the deal that both you nor I know at this point. This is one of those: If it appears to be to good to be true, then it is...type outliers. I believe this is another marketing ploy by Boras and Alonso to get other teams or a team that has been interested, into offering more. Boras is known for being a penny counter for his clients and being patient for his clients. He knows how to play the market while also placing pressure on the Mets front office as well. IF Alonso really wanted to stay a Met he would have just signed the 3 year-30 million dollar offer that was given to him a few weeks ago. Instead, he goes about under his own terms and language that seems a bit trite at the least. The Mets should refuse to do business this way as to how would this method of retaining players look like in the future with other expiring contracts. Let Alonso go, he is on a downward trend and plays at first base, which they can move Vientos or even Winker if they resign him. Sign Bregman from Houstan and you still have a formidable lineup of players who want to play all out with the Mets.
@WardyNYM this deal needs to get done ASAP. Get Alonso signed so we can focus on other areas of need and get players via FA or trade but Stearns needs address adding another big time starter to the rotation and arms for the bullpen. Resign Winker for DH from the Left side and if we can get Bregman I would take him too

Mets need to look at possibly Jack Flaherty for the rotation Nick Pavetta. Again are will willing to gamble on him and give up a draft pick? See what the Twins want for Pablo Lopez? Is Cease and option?
I think a 3yr contract with option for a 4th year if incentives reached .. great deal for both parties letting Pete know that he is wanted !! I know Pete wants to be back, so why go elsewhere if your heart ♥ is with the Mets, welcome back Polar Bear Pete ❤
If Alonso closes at the 3/100 predicted, then he's probably making more than the extension would've afforded him after six years. It wasn't a mistake at all.
I’m all for it giving the Mets a power bat that has played in New York for the 2025 season with opt outs which would allow them to pursue VLAD next year instead of trading for him.
I thought Pete offered the Mets a 3 yr deal, but the cost of the total contract hasn’t been disclosed. For all we know he asked for a lot more than $90M over 3 years, averaging $30M a season, that the Mets offered Pete.
@@brentallison6458 Reports were Mets had offered 3 years 90 million weeks ago. Perhaps Pete is coming around to the fact he ain’t getting what he wants. Agree. 3 years, 120m is too much. 3 years, 100m maybe. With opt outs for Pete.
The 9 year Prince Fielder comparison contract is NOT inaccurate. Rather, Boras doesn't want to admit he overplayed his hand and is walking it back Boras likes to play hardball. Of course it's accurate.
Not, "obviously Pete wants to come back to the Mets". It's more like, the Mets are the only game in town for Pete. He handled this terribly. He should have taken this by the reigns, sat down with Uncle Stevie and gotten a deal done. This is all on Pete...
Pete is a clown they offered him a way bigger contract last season and he countered by declining and hiring boras now no one is offering him the same money but he won't sign with the Mets until they give him more than he deserves just sign the contract Pete nobody else wants you stop letting boras lie to you smh
I would agree in terms of Boras, the biggest mistake he ever made getting involved with him. Boras does not give a damn about the game, or the players he reps. He cares about one thing. A nice fat bonus for himself. 😢
This is the ideal situation- Soto allows Pete to swing a little more freely. Plus if he goes nuts he can ask again for the longer term deal- I think long term Vladdy Jr is the goal for Mets regardless. I do like Alonso as a fan( have an auto card of his) so a little biased in wanting him back! Thanks Wardy Go METS
Alonso is not worth 30 mil a year. Period. 25 mil a year max! Mutual option after 1 yr and 2nd year if 3 yr deal. 3/75 Pete, take it or leave it and that is a stretch
He was offered a 7 year, then a 3yr (both turned down). Now, he is offered another 3 yr. Pete better take it. No one else is even offering him that contract.
He should take a note from David Wright about his legacy.. If he re-signs there is a good chance HIS number will be in up in the rafters along David's, Keith's, Doc's and Darryls, etc.... It's meaningful... Chipper Jones said the same about this situation...
No one else is interested in Pete he and arrogant Borass overplayed their hand and are trying to salvage his opportunity to re-sign with the Mets. Stearns isn't going to bid against himself so he's probably laughing at Boras' 3 year deal with opt outs. Alonso & Boras are attempting to save face.
I really want Alonso to stay in the Mets ... He is a homegrown player just like David Wright. The Polar Bear 🐻❄️ 💙🧡 is a power hitter with a future in the Mets.
NO WAY! Pete changed his tune when no one wanted him. Boris and Pete will kissy, kissy, and then try to up the 💰. Mr. Sterns, stick to your guns. Personally, you should let him walk. Except for a timely post-season hit in Milwaukee, he was the least likely Met you wanted in the batter's box with guys on base.
If we can gert him for 3 years just do it. It's totally worth it, and to have him with Soto it really lengthens our lineup a ton and the outside options at 1B are pretty dogshit.
Go for multiple op outs and bet on yourself. I don’t want him to go to Boston (his wife is from there) and become to us what Shaquan Barkley is to New York giant fans.
Agree Wardy. Anyone hating on Pete is a fool. 500 Homer pace, amazing work on his defense, Amazing community guy for the entire Metro, Great Teammate. And his "terrible" year he still has basically the same home run and rbi total as the GOD Juan Soto who's been on 4 teams in 5 years. hmmmmm. Fake Mets fans sound a LOT like Yankee fans. I dont ewant these hater jocking him when he hits 50 again
I stll don't get why they're veing so stingy with years for a 30 year old position player who never gets injured, a 4 or 5 year deal seems perfectly safe to me. I like strategy of being stingy on years with starting pitchers but with relatively young position players I don't quite get it 4 or 5 years seems fair to me I say 4 years at $120 mil with an opt out after year 1 or year 2 is fair
Imagine this: Pete and Mets agree on the 3 year and Pete does not opt out and Mets get Vlad next winter. Pete goes to DH and backs up 1st. Vlad, Pete, Soto, Vientos, Lindor, Alveraz. NICE 2026 Super Team
Help us get to 400+ likes & 35K subs! Mets fans, what’s YOUR thoughts on the latest here with Alonso?
Love it. Hope he signs

Is Cease and option?
Stearns played the market beautifully
Yeah especially regarding Pete. We have actually seen the Mets bid against themselves in the past.
i couldn't agree more
It’s nice having one of the best executives in MLB as Mets PBO.
It’s showing how selfish the Mets were everyone saying Pete is greedy well now this is on Miny market Stearns to get it down now
Like a fiddle. He's worth every penny he earns!
I think a 3yr contract with option for a 4th year if incentives reached .. great deal for both parties letting Pete know that he is wanted !! I know Pete wants to be back, so why go elsewhere if your heart ♥ is with the Mets, welcome back Polar Bear Pete ❤
Pete, Tanner, and pray for a miracle Sasaki signing and it is the greatest Mets offseason ever.
My thoughts exactly!
Ya gotta believe
Sasaki is going to be the pick 6 for the win play
Yes and even if they add another bat with it I would take it I'd love to trade for Robert's jr play center
Are the guardians willing to trade bibee?
Wardy thanks for covering day-to-day Mets news hope we can bring Pete back on a compromise deal
Great job great job. Thanks Pete for coming back. You are very smart. You’re doing the right ting for yourself and for the team.
he hasnt signed yet. pray to god pete decides to come back
He will, this is what the Mets wanted a 3yr deal with the opt outs so he signing today or tomorrow for sure
@@dannyjimenez9306 what are you talking about there is no deal yet until both parties agree
Alansos biggest mistake was hiring Boras.
If Alonso closes at the 3/100 predicted, then he's probably making more than the extension would've afforded him after six years. It wasn't a mistake at all.
@AWaywardWriter okay Scott
Here here !
3years with opt outs seem reasonable 👍👍
Great job Wardy! Appreciate you.
This could be done as early as tonight. Please focus on Winker and Iglesias immediately after that.
It hasn’t got done yet
That's good news Wardy. He's coming back.
Has not happened yet nothhing to get excited about
Two months ago I predicted 3 years at 95m with opt outs by both teams after each year.
Please sign on the dotted line Mr.Alonso!!
Perfect Scenario, Welcome back PETE... VLAD JR STILL ON DECK. LFGM! 👏🏿🎊🍾🥂🏆
Pete is not coming back. This is a marketing ploy by Boras and Alonso that I am now calling out here right now.
@rebeccawalsh6921 Interesting 🤔. VLAD JR STILL ON DECK. 🤣 LFGM! 👏🏿🎊🍾🥂🏆✨️
Get it done!
You’ll be rich, happy, and secure. Take the deal!
Amén 🙌!!!
Alonso will play better with no pressure of the contract like last year. Lets hope we can give him the contract 🙏🙏
You sure?
@ pretty sure
Pete hasn't accepted the offer, yet. Will see if he takes it.
Not ONE of our best power hitters ever produced THE best power hitter ever produced by this franchise.
I just got an Alonso official jersey for Christmas, so he'd better stay!!
😆
You just jinxed the team. Good going
Let’s go Polar Bear 🐻❄️ ! Mets want you!!!🎉 fantasticoMets69!
Just sign him already! He deserves it. He needs to be a Met. Enough of this nonsense.
Lets go Mets happy to see Pete wearing Mets color
I love Alonso and would love to have him back but I'm over it. If he doesn't take the 90/3 then see ya!
Just tell Pete to stop swinging at low outside sliders when he has two strikes in him and he’ll raise his on base percentage by 20%.
I have not yet heard of any offers made to the dude by anyone. So extending this offer "exclusively" to the Mets is probably just a marketing tactic.
Hi, Wardy! Please return, Pete! We need the Polar Bear!
Im a yankee fan but I would love to see Pete back with them
I’m all for it giving the Mets a power bat that has played in New York for the 2025 season with opt outs which would allow them to pursue VLAD next year instead of trading for him.
Ok so yes he wants to be a Met thank you so much Pete! Mets will sign him 💯% after this offer
Sign him.
3 years, 90 million.
3 years 120 Million? This is not going to be a good contract.
@
90.
Not 100.
Pete would be highest paid AAV 1B in MLB.

Thanks!
Appreciate you Gregory, thank you!
I would love Alonso back at three years I don’t even care if they would have to raise the amount to 100 million as long as it’s a three year deal
Hopfully they can come to a resolution very soon
Sasaki going to the dodgers or padres etc in west Coast
Why isn’t he not signed yet then ?
Vlad might lift up Pete’s market next year
I’m all for it ! Rock the night
4-eva
Sign him
This is the time David Stearns needs to sign him.
Not, "obviously Pete wants to come back to the Mets". It's more like, the Mets are the only game in town for Pete. He handled this terribly. He should have taken this by the reigns, sat down with Uncle Stevie and gotten a deal done. This is all on Pete...
You spelt Boris wrong

It sounds like more of how much Pete is asking for in this 3 year deal.
This is the ideal situation- Soto allows Pete to swing a little more freely.

This should tell everyone who was saying Pete didn't want to be a Met to eat those words.
Nobody wants him thats why he wants back in
@@Ticonderoga12 It’s showing how selfish the Mets were everyone saying Pete is greedy well now this is on Miny market Stearns to get it down now
Thats a big NO,what it says it that, thats the best deal he could get..
He was offered a 7 year, then a 3yr (both turned down). Now, he is offered another 3 yr. Pete better take it. No one else is even offering him that contract.
@@jason7638 hope he goes elsewhere
I think most fans believed the Baerga 3/90 deal vs. Nightingale report.
This is great until you realized that Boras is probably asking for 40M AVV using Judge as a comp
But yet Martino says the parts are miles apart! I wonder at what point Stearns says enough is enough let’s move on 🤔
What's the aav?
Good moved perfect for Alonso good contract.
Sterns is pulling a Leon Rose. I'm impressed. Still want to see what he does with the rest of the roster.
Sterns Seems To Know Players Worth Very well
300% on PETE 3/$90M
He should take a note from David Wright about his legacy.. If he re-signs there is a good chance HIS number will be in up in the rafters along David's, Keith's, Doc's and Darryls, etc.... It's meaningful... Chipper Jones said the same about this situation...
GET IT DONE!! LFGM! 🐻❄
Hi Wardy!!
This is the year the boris strategy got exposed. Teams dont have to pay lol
Pete this week Roki next week!!!
No one else is interested in Pete he and arrogant Borass overplayed their hand and are trying to salvage his opportunity to re-sign with the Mets. Stearns isn't going to bid against himself so he's probably laughing at Boras' 3 year deal with opt outs. Alonso & Boras are attempting to save face.
Get bregman 😮
Get it done
We don’t know what the AAV is though. That could be a sticking point
I am still not in favor unless it's a mutual option after year 1. Please don't overpay for him.
Reasonable
He wasn’t offered anything his camp went to the Mets Andy Martino said they are still far apart with contract
We still need at least a top RP and at minimum one more solid starter. But getting Pete is a good start.
I’m for it….if Pete accepts the player option for 2026 do you think the Mets will still pursue Vald jr.?
Simply put
"You Could Not Live With Your Own Failure, And Where Did That Bring You? Back To Me."
Stealing a line from “ money ball “ , if Pete wants to return , then why hasn’t he returned yet ! …. lol
Love your content Wardy !
If Pete has a monster year Mets will give him what he wants he'll be in hi demand
This gives the Mets options next year to pursuit Vladdy?
Alonso wants to opt out if he has agreat season. Then increase new contract.
What AAV??
Do it 90 😅😅😅😅
Signing could be inminent!!!!!
I’m for it.
I really want Alonso to stay in the Mets ... He is a homegrown player just like David Wright. The Polar Bear 🐻❄️ 💙🧡 is a power hitter with a future in the Mets.
Let’s go!!!!
GET IT DONE
YES *RE-PETE!"🤗💯
Please be true!!!
Hearing Mets said NO, not confirmed
I wouldn’t call this the Alonso sweepstakes. When only one team is playing 😆
This should happen now.
Think Cohen is going to go hard for Vladi next off season?
L f g m !!!
NO WAY! Pete changed his tune when no one wanted him. Boris and Pete will kissy, kissy, and then try to up the 💰. Mr. Sterns, stick to your guns. Personally, you should let him walk.

3 years and no opt out. Why would the Mets give Pete an opt out? It makes every year a walk year.
Mets didn’t offer this, it was the other way around! I also explain the video all the reasons who opt outs make sense for both sides.
Mets are in control not him. 3 years 75 million opt outs after first 2 years. Take it or leave it. NOBODY WANTS HIM
If we can gert him for 3 years just do it. It's totally worth it, and to have him with Soto it really lengthens our lineup a ton and the outside options at 1B are pretty dogshit.
Go for multiple op outs and bet on yourself. I don’t want him to go to Boston (his wife is from there) and become to us what Shaquan Barkley is to New York giant fans.
❤❤❤❤❤ I want Pete now please great deal !!
Boom
Don’t know if the Mets want him back but for three years get it done
3 year deal is a no brainer but isn’t a player or team option?
🥴IT’S CALLED DAMAGE CONTROL MY BOY 🙌🏽😂
