I'm in my mid 60's, been watching BB for a long time, I'm not counting anyone's money, I know defense in BB saves runs, keeps pitchers from having a meltdown, my first game @ Shea was in the 60's, I love Big Pete but I'm rolling with whomever we have @ 1b LGM ⚾
You hit the nail on the head. The Mets want him back but need to mitigate the risk of him breaking down. Pete is one of my favorite players and I would love for the Mets to sign him for whatever he wants cause it’s not my money, but this is also a business and the Mets are paying him no matter what if they sign him and he falls off. I think 3/90 was a fair deal.
Happy New Year! Wishing you and your family the best this year. Hope your pup gets better soon. I didn’t see the survey. I would’ve voted for both as well as Sterns. All three need to get together and work something out that works for everyone and solidifies the lineup for this upcoming season.
Its a tough set of negotiations, because pete is a fan favorite and homegrown, but stearns is treating this as a business, which is the right thing to do.Noone wants to negotiate against themselves, and mets gave a great aav offer, with i assume opt outs. I keep saying this hS to come to a head and move on, but its january now and nothing. Wondering if mets are getting closer to an ultimatum. Just hope bregman and santandar dont sign elsewhere, then we lose leverage and then what. Wishing your puppy good health!
Truthfully, it is no one's "fault"...The METS underbid Pete last off-season by offering $158 for 7 Years, or a $22.57 mil AAV...Pete's power stats were worth more than that AAV before the 2024 season. Pete took the chance to "play for his contract" in 2024 and clearly underperformed, especially in his low RISP...However, since the 2024 season began and into this off-season, Pete's actual value is redefined by Chapman's mid-season Boras-negotiated extension with the SF Giants for $151 mil for 6 Years, and while Chapman is a first rate glove @ 3rd Base and a premium over a 1st Base player, his power stats are far below Pete's, even taking into account 2024 where Pete had 34 HRs & 88 RBIs vs. Chapman's 27 HRs & 78 RBIs...I estimate Pete is worth 105% of Chapman's deal, making Pete's AAV about $26 mil - $27 mil...Length of the deal can be somewhat "managed" through opt-outs
I think we can all agree that Pete isn’t the assertive or has a confrontational type of personality. He’s definitely relying on his agent, as he should that’s what he pays him for. Unfortunately, this is the ugly side of business.
Let's talk on a more positive inspiring note. I could be the first one to say this. Don Clendennon was the 1969 series MVP..Oh, by the way, Don's number was 22.. 17 years later in a more dramatic series Ray Knight received the honor of MVP. Oh would you look at that----his number was number 22. So who wears number 22 now? Juan Soto.
The $ is there, but I believed Pete's looking for a 5+ yrs deal. Not so much if Pete believed in himself, but does the Mets appreciate & believed in him, goes both ways. I think somebody will come along & snatch him with not much more.
As of right now, the mets have made multiple offers to Pete. I would say that they have showed tremendous belief in Pete, despite there being no market competition for him. They offered to make him the highest paid first basemen this year as well as told him to shop around for offers and they will try to match
I think the Mets are wondering whether they should sign Alonso to a 5th year. He is 30, and will be 35 by year 5. It's a no brainer that you bring him back. The Mets need his bat. Bringing Alonso back could be the difference in the Mets winning a championship within the next 5 years or not. They could win multiple titles by holding onto Pete. That's a wise investment to make.
If he and Scotty haven't learned the lessons from the unwanted free agents last season, this will drag on until some time in March. Pete is a fool if he waits until he doesn't get a full spring training in.
@ you would be trading McNeil Mauricio and Williams /gilbert . Not a whole team but something like this. Don’t know what they want? All I know is if you put him with Soto and Lindor and address the pitching who cares
The Mets need to flex some muscle, like the Dodgers, pay the price for Vlad Jr. Sign Him and move on. Vlad Jr. Hitting clean up with Lindor, Soto and Vientos ahead of Him, hitting over 270, with His avg. Will produce a lot of runs.
No other team besides the Mets can trade for Vlad, because they all know(just like the NYY with Soto this year)that Cohen will outbid them. So I say go for it.
@@dominantmetsnation8156 Alonso is trying to play the mets. My trust is over .. He lied. I'd suggest not to do anymore videos on this subject until the smoke clears. It's not worth it. What I do appreciate is the path to better pitching, guerrero, bregman. I'm tired of this guy.
No team in MLB is going for Alonso besides the Mets ! San Francisco is a gossip , a rumor , some juice that some one spill to help Pete in negotiations! Really No one see it ? Is Mets or don't play miss a season. Great job Boras ! 🤣
Hi Dominant Mets Nation, this is insane it strikes me as Pete doesn't want to accept the fact that there isn't a market for him nobody wants to pay him 180-200 million for 5 years or more. He has to wake up and realize the Mets are the only team that has any real interest in him.
Pete knows he screws up last season for not resigning and lowering he's performing. And now he's seems to be the proud arrogant guy that will make a stand having nothing on his faver . Is sad and humiliated that No team want him and the Mets are the only team waisting time and opportunities of getting someone else for signing him cheap 🤣🤣🤣
You're spot on. Pete rubs me the wrong way when he speaks. He has no self awareness. I bet he's completely uncoachable because he doesnt acknowledge that he's struggling. I feel like the Mets dont want to sign him but they have to manage the PR of it. As Pete is popular with many.
@ I’m just telling met fans getting cocky and telling people to pound sand and move on better not complain when this team wins 68 or 74 wins. I better not hear complaining about this team should have signed Pete
@@explosivediarrhea4671 Hey explosive, Pete will be replaced with a more consistent player. There is no way this team willl win 68 games in 2025. Pete has been in decline, hes not helping the team. Hes not an intimidating force any longer. Pitchers are more confident they can get him out and will pitch around Soto. Im not cocky at all but unless Pete can turn it around, they really should let him go.
@ if you let Pete go what will soto say when he said he wants more bats in the lineup ? I don’t think bregman is coming here there was a report the tigers are only off by 1 year which is the holdup. There’s no guarantee you get vlad in 1 year I just feel Pete right now helps this team in 2025. Mets are playing a dangerous game. There’s not many first basemen if you lose Pete and vlady is no guarantee as he will be in a bidding war next year
Too bad Cohen spent every last penny of his Mets budget on Soto and is subjecting his home grown “family” member to this nickel and diming. Or maybe they need to save some money so Stearns can find another pitching project. There’s a great pitcher I see play in Corona park on the weekends. Hopefully Stearns is scouting there.
@ a lot of work to do bullpen wise bench bat etc there was also a report from another lesser known acl it’s saying Santander was offered 4 years for 82. I think Pete knows once bregman is gone and Santander he will hold all the leverage and Mets will be desperate especially because soto said he wants more bats. We will see Richard what happens
We don’t need this guy on a three year deal. Like last year he’ll crumble under the pressure of trying to perform for a better contract. He is not in great shape for a MLBer looking for a big payday. Guy has a dad bod at a fairly young age…
Fans shouldn't be alarmed by a potential Pete exit. Historically the Mets have seen many more high-profile players with a championship pedigree exit Flushing. Alonso moving on would be nothing new and not as traumatic as seeing Tom Seaver and Nolan Ryan traded or Strawberry walk out the door. Pete's camp is stubborn and has failed in their attempt to convince Stearns that a long-term, big-money deal is appropriate. In time, Stearn's judgment may prove correct while Pete finishes his career elsewhere. Early in Cohen's ownership the fanbase should fall out with the mindset of building a ballclub with an All-Star at each position due to cash, elite teams have always been built with pitching, speed, and defense as the cornerstone of the franchise. Pete possesses NONE of those attributes. We have to remember that Pete's homegrown status means NOTHING to Stearns (he wasn't here) and David Stearns will remake this organization within the parameters of his philosophy. We need to add Sasaki MUCH more than Alonso. The pivot of signing Bregman and transferring Vientos across the diamond is not a bad idea. There should be concern about relocating Vientos being learning a new position defensively, albeit a corner, could hurt his bat, but it's a worthwhile risk.
@@explosivediarrhea4671 So you are saying that Bregman isnt a decent bat? Who is to say the Mets dont have a backup plan? Pete isnt helping things, his bat is becoming a non issue.
@ Mets are not in on bregman I never believed they were in on him and there was a report on X on a lesser known account T saying bregman wants 6 years tigers offered him 5 and that’s the holdup. If the years is the issue then bregman will be a tiger at some point
Fans who think Pete should be signed at any cost, will be the first ones bitching and moaning when he falls off a cliff, hitting under .200 with 15 home runs after year three.
Pete will be given a very fair offer from the mets, despite some regression. Stearns knows exactly how to value pete. Fans are supposed to be emotional, this is why they do not give out contracts lol
I'm just wondering. You talking heads DO realize that Manfred hasn't gone full-idiot and changed the rules of the game so that it's just home run derby, don't you? You realize that even with this moronic hyper focus on home runs, major league hitters still amass far more singles that every other manner of hit combined ... don't you? You all seem to love OPS. Do you realize OPS is just two other stats added together? What? Is a little addition too much work for you? My daughter was able to add On Base % and Slugging % in her head when she was seven. Let me pose this incredibly taxing question to you. Runner on second, two outs. Your team is batting in the bottom of the ninth in a tie game. Who's more likely to win the game for you ... Tony Gwynn or Dave Kingman? Scoring mor runs than the other team is still how you win a baseball game and a line drive single still scores most baserunners from second base. Yet you all have bought in to the theory that batting average is meaningless. I recognize that a home run has value, but tell me this. Your third place hitter hits a home run in the first ... would you prefer a three run homer, or a solo shot? Now how many ways are there for your first two hitters to be on base when that happens? Out of those ten ways (ten if you count each type of hit individually and omit home runs as that batter would not still be on base when number three homers) ... but anyway, out of those ten ways to reach base, which way is most common? Singles! (I shouted that at you.) By emphasizing home runs, you encourage hitter to take upper cut swings this GREATLY reduces the area of possible intersection between the path of the pitched ball and the swing path of the bat, thus increasing strikeouts. You guys are helping to bring the game down from a thinking man's game to a caveman contest with zero cerebral requirements. I shudder to think what would have become of Keith Hernandez had he come up in today's game.
Ok I see your prospective but then if not having Pete’s hr power in the lineup protecting Soto then who would you have to protect Soto in the lineup? Who is out in free agency that you feel can protect Soto better in that lineup?
He is just not that good. He hits for a low batting average, he is not a good defensive fielder, his homerun total went down and he strikes out too much. 3 years at 60-75 million makes sense with NO opt out. Why should he get an opt out when if he hits 27 home runs and has an average of .210 and the Mets have no opt out? I don't understand the obsession with other Mets fans of wanting this guy back so much. If he did not hit that home run in the playoffs Mets fans totally obsessed with wanting him back would not want him back. Did they forget he dropped a foul ball in the playoffs?
Pete is not confident in himself to have 1 bounce back year he knows he is a declining numbers player and he’s trying to secure is money long term . 3 years 90 mill every a opt out to bet on you’re self means you don’t believe in yourself to be good
th-cam.com/video/EXYJ6pc2GzQ/w-d-xo.html Just speading the open blogs. Why not trade for Guererro this year. Bring in bregman.. Who is pete alonso? I do hope you enjoyed the holidays. It's not for everyone. I look forward for us to continue discussions of our beloved team.
With alonso do the mets need for world series? What would make a difference? Are the mets better off with alonso or Bregman? Is Alonso worth the headache negotiating with him, yes or no? Are the mets better with Bregman and Alonso? My take is this drama with pete is not worth it. Alonso, take it or leave it. So sick of him.
@@explosivediarrhea4671 It only drops if they take on a similar or worse player. Stearns/Cohen wont let that happen. Pete isnt intimidating anyone anymore, he can be pitched to so easily right now. Bregman is a better situational hitter then Pete, they wont lose more games with him.
Let him go. He hired Boras after rejecting 7/158M bet on himself and lost and won’t budge and for what? DRS👎 Range👎 Scoops✅ Base speed👎 Batting average👎 OPS+👎 30-35 HRs✅ 100+ RBIs ❌ 75+ Walks ❌ 170+ K ☑️🆘 So he wants 200M for 30 HRs and for his scoops? Goodbye 👋
-To put this into perspective. Vladdy Jr. had a WAR that was about 2.4 times higher than Alonso’s was this past season. (2.6 v 6.2) -Both are 4 time all-stars (though I do not believe Alonso deserved it over Lindor this year), both had won the derby BUT Vladdy Jr. has a Gold Glove. Age 👍 (25) DRS👌(OK) Range 👎 Scoops 👍 (Led MLB in 21’) Base speed 👌(OK) Batting average 👍 OPS+ 👍 30-35 HRs✅ 100+ RBIs ✅ 75+ Walks ❌ Less than 100 K ✅
Mets should stop waisting time chasing Alonso and going for other options. Just sing Bregman move and move Vientos to 1st and get Santander before other team get him . Santander as Dh after Soto will give the power back up we need . Iglesias is cheaper to get him to 3rd Vientos to 1st Santander to DH . For crying out loud just fire David Stearn and let me take the Decision's ! 🤣🤣🤣
Pete is wanting too many years, Stearns is also a problem, yeah we got Soto, but look at the Yankees in getting Fried who we should have been all in on, Stearns is being stingy
"Stingy" implies that he's worth whatever he asks for. Like when a toddler thinks a parent is stingy for not buying up everything in the toy Isle. This is what I mean when I refer to "X-Box mentality. Overpaying for 176 K's works on the X-Box because cheating and save scumming is ubiquitous. Overpaying for a.300 SO/GIDP rate in RL mode is no bueno. Instead of being stingy, maybe by offering "fair Market" value Stearns is hoping the guy will just take his first base mitt and go home, without having to suffer the wrath of the "Not my money" X-Box crowd?
If Pete is not wearing a Mets uniform on Opening Day, he'll have nobody to blame but himself.
True, mets want to bring him back. They still have not filled his spot on the team
I'm in my mid 60's, been watching BB for a long time, I'm not counting anyone's money, I know defense in BB saves runs, keeps pitchers from having a meltdown, my first game @ Shea was in the 60's, I love Big Pete but I'm rolling with whomever we have @ 1b LGM ⚾
Let Alonso and His ego, go. The Mets should not give in. Their offer of 3 years 90 million is plenty.
You betcha
157 million for 5 to 7 years was perfect
For everyone who wants Pete gone I don’t want to hear you Complain when this team wins 74 wins without Pete
I hope your pup gets better, i love my 🐕
Thanks, really appreciate that.

It just feels that the longer this drags out, the less likely we're signing him.

Pete is not confident in himself to have 1 bounce back year he knows he is a declining numbers player and he’s trying to secure is money long term . 3 years 90 mill every a opt out to bet on you’re self means you don’t believe in yourself to be good
I have to agree 100 percent with that based on the information available
th-cam.com/video/EXYJ6pc2GzQ/w-d-xo.html Just speading the open blogs. Why not trade for Guererro this year. Bring in bregman.. Who is pete alonso? I do hope you enjoyed the holidays. It's not for everyone. I look forward for us to continue discussions of our beloved team.
Vlad wants to hit free agency to get teams into a bidding war so he gets paid. He’s either gonna become the jays Red Sox or Yankees 1 year from now
Scott BorASS has ruined Baseball!
With alonso do the mets need for world series? What would make a difference? Are the mets better off with alonso or Bregman? Is Alonso worth the headache negotiating with him, yes or no? Are the mets better with Bregman and Alonso? My take is this drama with pete is not worth it. Alonso, take it or leave it. So sick of him.
Definetly fair. Pete does seem a bit more consumed with himself than you would like. Replacing pete with breggy maybe a plus or not lol
Do you want to win a World Series ? With no Pete ur chances of winning one in 2025 drops
@@explosivediarrhea4671 It only drops if they take on a similar or worse player. Stearns/Cohen wont let that happen. Pete isnt intimidating anyone anymore, he can be pitched to so easily right now. Bregman is a better situational hitter then Pete, they wont lose more games with him.
@@dominantmetsnation8156 a plus
Let him go. He hired Boras after rejecting 7/158M bet on himself and lost and won’t budge and for what?

So he wants 200M for 30 HRs and for his scoops? Goodbye 👋
-To put this into perspective. Vladdy Jr. had a WAR that was about 2.4 times higher than Alonso’s was this past season. (2.6 v 6.2) -Both are 4 time all-stars (though I do not believe Alonso deserved it over Lindor this year), both had won the derby BUT Vladdy Jr. has a Gold Glove.

Mets should stop waisting time chasing Alonso and going for other options. Just sing Bregman move and move Vientos to 1st and get Santander before other team get him . Santander as Dh after Soto will give the power back up we need . Iglesias is cheaper to get him to 3rd Vientos to 1st Santander to DH . For crying out loud just fire David Stearn and let me take the Decision's ! 🤣🤣🤣
Pete is wanting too many years, Stearns is also a problem, yeah we got Soto, but look at the Yankees in getting Fried who we should have been all in on, Stearns is being stingy
Pete should only get 3 years. The mets need to do alot of work still
"Stingy" implies that he's worth whatever he asks for.
Like when a toddler thinks a parent is stingy for not buying up everything in the toy Isle.
This is what I mean when I refer to "X-Box mentality.
Overpaying for 176 K's works on the X-Box because cheating and save scumming is ubiquitous.
Overpaying for a.300 SO/GIDP rate in RL mode is no bueno.
Instead of being stingy, maybe by offering "fair Market" value Stearns is hoping the guy will just take his first base mitt and go home, without having to suffer the wrath of the "Not my money" X-Box crowd?
