Does Pete remember what Darryl said? Darryl said he was sorry he left the Mets and apologized to Mets fans. Pete’s not going to have fans in other cities like he has in NYC.
@@usveteran9893that's the issue. His self appraisal is way off base..he can ask for whatever he wants, but he is nowhere near worth what he thinks he is.
In addition to my recently posted reply, id like to say that personally im confident that the Alonso/Boras - Cohen/Stearns negotiations standoff is primarily if not specifically attributed to patience, bilaterally and wisely applied. Combined with the fact that both sides consistently remain engaged with each other, speaks favorably to an ultimate re-signing conclusion.
Yes, because he’s a total pro at what he does and he’s been doing it for years… he’s just not some young guy hyping things up… he learned from experience, which is the way you grow into being someone who’s opinion you respect..
When will the sports media, beholden to the owners, discuss how much money Alonso and marquee players like him, generate in merch, box office, gaming revenues, media ratings--- that is the worth of a player!
I was refreshing Twitter/X during Christmas dinner. I want my guy back. But it’s made the winter tough. No use for Mountcaste or Tokelson, or Yan Diaz. Pete is the one that has always made the most sense. Ironically it would also make certain players expendable in a Cease/King/Castillo/SP trade. Pete plays 1st Vientos plays 3rd. MCNeal/Acuna play 2nd. Siri plays CF until Jet or Acuna prove their value. That leaves MLB ready players available in trade. I’m still all about bringing De🐐 back. More people will agree with that before All Star Break. Let Vlad be a Blue Jay. They deserve something and he is a native son.
Mrs Alonso & Pete's family MUST have heard Steve Cohen and talked some sense into Pete...I believe this deal will be consummated imminently...As in a day or two...!!
What's probably going to happen is that Alonso/Boras will accept Cohen's deal, or Cohen will just give in and give Alonso his extra 20 mil. I just don't know which one will happen first.
Mets need Micheal King can't just rely on just the Juan Soto signing get Stearns out of the picture and let Cohen get this Alonso and Micheal King deals done
The Mets need to sign him and Pete needs to realize he's not worth what he's looking for he screwed up 2 years ago when he didn't sign what he was offered then
Can you stop saying the words "behind Soto" when it comes to Alonso. It's Soto that needs to hit behind Alonso if he comes back. Get that straight. If Pete comes back, he needs to bat IN FRONT of Soto not behind. I don't think that Mendy is going to make the lineup like I would with or without Pete in the lineup. He's going to go with what just about everyone is doing. That is load up the top of the batting order with your very best guns. Lindor 1 Soto 2. And they keep mentioning Nimmo as the cleanup hitter. I'm sorry but that is ridiculous.
Ok let's change that. It's not really ridulous. It's just a way to line it up that doesn't make the most sense. Doesn't make that much sense to me. With the kind of pieces the Mets have in the lineup, and depending on whether or not they bring back Pete, I'm batting Soto 4 or 5. Yeah that's right. 4 or 5. That's 4 or 5. I just want it to penetrarte. Lindor is your leadoff and there are other guys who should go in those 2 and 3 spots before it gets to either Soto or Pete if he is back. Nimmo has to he the number 3. The guy I want for the number 2 spot is Acuña if he's starting at 2B or, Marte if he's DHing and McNeil is starting at 2B. That's right.
No matter what it should either be from 1 through 3: 1:Lindor SS 2:Acuña 2B 3:Nimmo LF Or 1:Lindor SS 2:Marte DH 3:Nimmo LF Then if Pete is back 4 and 5 has to be: 4:Alonso 1B 5:Soto RF If Pete is not back 4 and 5 has to be: . 4:Soto RF 5:Vientos 1B I would just LOVE for Mendy to see this and thick really well about what he is seeing. Then aster thinking really well about it, I want him to realize why this is the best way todo it. It is the way to make it the best way this Mets lineup can be and the DEEPEST. By NOT batting Soto 2 or 3 you can make the lineup really deep and way more effective. Lindor will shine in the leadoff spot. Nimmo is going to rake batting number 3 and you will put Marte or Acuña in a real good spot to shine with what they can do from the 2 spot. The 2 spot is the perfect spot for either Marte or Acuña. I mention Marte batting there until Acuña wins the everyday 2B job which could come sooner than later. Maybe as soon as opening day. If that happens I want that man batting number 2. It's where he belongs if you really meditate on it. Until this happens Marte should be put back in his old number 2 spot batting in front of Nimmo. The lineup is so much deeper this way. Soto batting 4 or 5 is SO MUCH BETTER. If Pete is back Soto bats 5th to give Pete the protection these Mets have been waiting for for a long time finally. It's so much more dangerous this way. And it's Pete that needs to bounce back, not Soto. What will help Pete bounce back better than having Soto right behind him? If this is the case, Vientos can most definitely be enough of a protection for Soto batting number 6 if Pete is back, or batting number 5 if Pete is gone. No doubt about it. Vientos is definitely hitting more than 30 bombs this season if he stays healthy. Vientos is a rising beast. You gotta know that he's ready to take on that role of protecting Soto in the lineup. If the Mets didn't have someone like Marte and even more Acuña, you can line it up different. But you have these particular pieces in Marte and Acuña. These guys have to bat number 2. Pete is the one that can use great protection. Then Soto will have Vientos behind him. Facing righties, Winker can bat behind Vientos or maybe Mauricio if he breaks through during spring training. And if both Marte and Acuña are in the lineup at the same time, Acuña can take the 2 spot, and you can use Marte lower in the lineup. With the pieces that you have, you can make the lineup be seriously deep.
Go ahead and ask Vientos if he believes he can protect Soto in the lineup or if he wants to take on that role. You know the answer will be yes. He's ready for the next level this year.
Mountcastle...??...LOL...HR production 33, then 22, then 18, then 13 over the last four seasons...And people are worried about Pete's "diminishing skills"...LOL
Nobody is offering Alonso a contract. The Mets should offer an 88 mill 3 years contract and make it final. Alonso is not worth star money. Boras has 2 players in the HOF Greg Maddux and Adrian beltre. Why would any good players sign with a cancer of an agent?
This man turned out to be a disgrace BEGGING FOR HIS CAREER with an organization that has moved on. Like I said and written Alonso move on, God closed that door and has a better place for you, where you will be appreciated and shine. It's unfortunate you are blind, how quick and easy it was for the Mets to sign Juan Soto overpay a simple right fielder and you have been with the Mets and fans have seen your greatest and the Mets organization don't care. Look elsewhere you're doing like salmons going against the current. Time to move on, accept it. Your time with the Mets has expired 😔
Of course talks resumed. He’s not going anywhere. You think he wants to sign with the Angels? His agents just trying to make back some of the money he lost Alonso.
No need to listen to what this guy says. If you’re calling Torkelson a bust and giving up on Baty already, that tells me that you shouldn’t be getting paid to talk about baseball.
If you’re talking about Bret Baty then you don’t know baseball and have never seen Ronny Mauricio play. If Torkelson was good, the Tigers wouldn’t even think about trading him. But Bret Baty? We’ve seen enough.
Mets and NY and Pete and Cohen and Fans belong together. He deserves better treatment and Cohen needs assurances. Make it happen. Is deferred money the issue?
I'm extremely curious to know where Alonso/Boras stand regarding what they're seeking. A ballpark figure in length and years is what I'd love to know. My take regarding the standoff is that Alonso is a six years/two hundred million dollars worthwhile investment,
How is a 38 years old athlete worth a 6 year contract at $200 millions a good investment? Are there any 44 years old baseball players out there, and playing at top level? Because Alonzo would be 44 years old at the end of his contract. He’s already been declining over the last 2 years.
I don't think it's bad blood. Both sides know that it's a negotiation. If they can come to an agreement, then everyone will be happy. If not, then that means that one party wasn't happy with the terms - and I think that the other party can accept that.
@@tvbtvb5124why not add a signing bonus like they did with Juan Soto just to get him to sign they have billions get it done we need him on the field !

Great take by John Harper. Totally agree with all his opinions on this Mets issue.
3 years, $70m, all he has to say is ok
I hope Pete stops listening to Scott Boras and takes what the Mets are offering.
@@timetowakeup7394 Really, what Alonso needs to do is what he feels is best for himself.
@@usveteran9893that's the issue. His self appraisal is way off base..he can ask for whatever he wants, but he is nowhere near worth what he thinks he is.
@ The best for Pete is not to listen to Scott Boras he is going end up in a losing team.
@@usveteran9893agreed, but hopefully what is best for him is to stay with the Mets. Win win.

Not only did they call torkelson a bust but they didn't even get his name right
The Latino players will make up this Mets team most them white boys are bust
Lmao just let me know when he signs 😂 every 12 hours over there's a new update about Pete and we still got no clue.
Harper is real and honest, talks with his brain
Yes, because he’s a total pro at what he does and he’s been doing it for years… he’s just not some young guy hyping things up… he learned from experience, which is the way you grow into being someone who’s opinion you respect..
He will sign with NY
🤞
I would Not be thrilled to See Luisangel Acuna at 5'7 playing 3rd Base because there would be too many line drives getting over Him.

@zburke3 Are You Measuring up to the Tips of Acuna's Spiked Locks of Hair?

Yikes Harper he's like a sentient r/Mets
Sign Pete!
3yrs at $80 million is nice and reasonable yo
Young ppl yes
What's probably going to happen is that Alonso/Boras will accept Cohen's deal, or Cohen will just give in and give Alonso his extra 20 mil. I just don't know which one will happen first.
the Jays are being used as usual. This time for Alonso and Bregman. I don't see them getting either.
Pete wants the Mets but boras is making that hard in my opinion
Who is Ryan Torkelson?
Harp is funny thinking Stearns wants to sign a 30 year old Michael King to a long term deal. It's almost like he doesn't follow the team.
Harper knows the deal but a long-term deal for David Starnes is 3 or 4 years he certainly wasn't implying 6 to 8
Mets need Micheal King can't just rely on just the Juan Soto signing get Stearns out of the picture and let Cohen get this Alonso and Micheal King deals done
70 million is PEANUTS. Borass told himt he was getting over 200 million last year
Peanuts for an elephant. How fitting.
Pete ain't worth $70 million.
pete goes back, begging for a contract
I rather have torkelson for a yr than Brett baty at first, ill take a chance for a yr
The Mets need to sign him and Pete needs to realize he's not worth what he's looking for he screwed up 2 years ago when he didn't sign what he was offered then
King is going to be a lot.
Mets need a starter pitcher can't just sit on the Juan Soto signing time to make some moves
I guarantee you Alonso ends up back with the Mets. It's not "possible," it's probable.
4yrs 93mil
More Drama than a Soap Opera
Pete comes back he won’t be loved like he was before! I rather Pete gone at this point
Pete! If Boras can't get you on with the Mets, fire him.
