We are all fans but the team salary is too high. Alonso is not worth more than 20 million a year at current level of performance. 22.5 million per year is absolute maximum value even if he turns it around as he doesn't hit for average.
Pete can't run the bases like an average major leaguer. He is Ok at first but not exceptional. This could be his only off year but if he continues to slide, the Mets will have to eat another large contract. Tough call.
Its not that Pete Alonso is a bum player and awful. Its that he isn't necessarily a keystone player. Does he make the team better? Yes. Can the team get better trading him? Yes.
Nownif no one is offering something worthwhile for him, of course keep him! But can't ignore if a team decides to go all in and give up their 2nd and 3rd prospect for Pete.
No team is doing that
We (Mets) wouldn't even do that
@@Dre973Andre we only gave up Pete Crow Armstrong for less than half a year of Javy Baez.
Why...?? This METS team is going to make the Wild Card and Pete is a big key to the "win now and challenge for a World Series this year" mantra. No way they are giving him up for a "prospect" - they're in a playoff race and he is a big bat + he is HIGHLY motivated to produce good #s over these last 66 games and through any playoffs because this will be the last big $$$ contract of his career and what he does the rest of the way THIS YEAR is worth tens-of-millions of $$$s to him and Boras
Last year he was awsome. He broke his hand... He still hit 46 homeruns. He can hit multiple hrs a game. Multiple times a year.
I am a die hard Mets fan for 20+ years I 100% say Pete needs to go, if he goes to another team and he starts doing good again good for him, but he is not helping us win in New York. Evan is being an airhead with Pete.
I’m glad he didn’t win HR derby last night he doesn’t deserve to be there anyway he’s not an Allstar this year
Pete turned down Mets offer of 7 years, $158M.
Most players turn down those offerers. You would turn down such an offer if your employer negotiated too
@@mamalannightshyamanyea but if your agent is that scumbag and will definitely overcharge the mets, Pete can walk or I'll take prospects or a solid 2/3 rotation piece.
I wonder if he regrets that, or if he will after he hits free agency.
28 million per season is the number that he wants, and 6 years 168 million does that and honestly based on money players get today Our Polar Bear deserves that! Get er done!
@@jamesbuckley8917 He is not even worth that
Pete is NOT on a 40 homer pace right now. They've played 96 games already. He's on pace for around 35.
I think we should keep Pete but for the same price they offered him or less.
The Mets will never win anything as long as they act like he's a franchise player.
Keep Pete. He’s a true blue Met! For years he played with no protection in the lineup. Personally, I feel that he’s putting too much pressure on himself to “be the man”! If you are planning on keeping him then let him know and hopefully he’ll relax and play the way he has for years. He really seems uptight over his contract situation. I think that the Mets have more value trading McNeil, as much as I would hate that.
I'm a Yankees fan but I think letting go of Alonso would be a HUGE mistake.
Just ride it out and make him a team friendly offer in the off season. We could be getting a glory of riches for a discount.
I'm thinking about Pete's history with the Mets and his side kick Jeff right along with him, and both contributed to this team's success so many times over, and at times when no one else on the team was. It is never in the stars all the time, sometimes we all have to come back down to earth and see that this guy is having 1 not so great season, out of how many? And if we aren't with him and willing to wait it out, and give Pete along with Jeff too the patience they both deserve, that is on us, not them.
Some fans might be turning on him to prepare mentally for the chance he is traded, and perhaps soften the blow of such news.
28 million per year is Petes sweet spot, hit that and he stays. 6 years 168 million
i love Pete as a met but i don't see him staying past this season
They have 2 spots they can replace Pete at 3rd or 1st by moving Vientos over wih someone they can save money on and spend that money on the bullpen and a DH in the off season if they don't resign JD. I'm over watching him cgade outside pitches it's cringeworthy
Vientos skills at first base are mediocre at best. Pete has done well, very good at stretching out on balls thrown to high or low to still get the out.
I used to think Pete should go, but tbh he brings more value than his numbers suggest. Average defense playing 1B every day, extended cold streaks with short bursts of upside. Stable club house figure and his presence alone puts stress on opposing pitcher at the 4th spot in the lineup whether he produces or not. I'd say as long as the Mets retain one of the WC leads, keep him for 2024. Resigning him is a different story, let him sign elsewhere in 2025 and move Vientos to 1B next season.
It will be hard to get Alonso for "reasonable" money, because Scott Boras is his agent.
TIKI WAS RIGHT! ABOUT SAQOUN! F*** TRAITOR Giants offered more, he left the easy way out. OFFICIALLY ONE OF THE WORST GIANTS RB’s in GIANTS HISTORY! I WANT TO SEE A TAKE ON THIS ASAP!
Thinking if you could get a young elite arm then yes. From a Cardinals fan.
Hilarious. How many post seasons have Mets played in over the last 25 years. Not many. This team has something special. And we know what happens when you support a special team.
Depends on what we get at deadline. In a heartbeat I would trade alonzo for A's closer
Are the A's going to trade their ace closer for a rental having a bad year?
Sometimes, a struggling star makes the other guys step it up. A mediocre Alonso is still a dangerous Alonso. The Mets shouldn't try to get too cute now with " deadline trades" .
Pete is a 100+ RBI guy,& most HR MLB from his 2019 start, just not flashy-so what. Pete hit more RBI than Judge in his record HR Yr. 29 yr power hitter until 35yrs(pay him 5 yrs). He's off at the moment and has slumped before (after HR derby win) as did Judge earlier this year. He should get a big contract. Bad Yr tracking for 100 RBI & 40hr. list starts getting shorter as to who else makes a difference and gets paid huge $. Lindor and Nimmo are hot, but neither have carried the team, ever.
I’m less worried if Pete stays or goes, he WAS the Mets for 5 years. But the crazy disrespect from the fans is just embarrassing for Mets baseball.
Saying Pete isn’t clutch is wrong, the dude holds the franchise record for game winning rbi, rbi and has a career .918 ops with risp.
Talking about contracts like they wouldn’t try to negotiate for more money
It just shows you how reactionary and uneducated our fans are
I have read that Pete wants top first baseman money which is 28 million per year. And i think that is a fair number. 28 million for 6 years 168 million. Even if Pete only hits 30 homers per year for those six he will reset the all time Met home run record into the 400 plus range. And most likely be a part in helping bring a World series title back to Queens. Sign our Polar Bear! And Pete remember if the offer comes to life, you love NY, you love being a Met, and sign it
@@dougmarinosci370that rarely happens. I was offered a salary at my job and I negotiated to a higher salary. Am I an asshole too? Hes not getting that kind of money, he knows it, we SHOULD know it but we’re holding something everyone should do against him
I hope he goes so I don’t need to hear Evan to cry about it
Trade Pete and you’ll regret it like the Seaver trade. The fans love him and he’s productive every year!!
Who's the guy saying he's on pace for 40 HRs? He's on pace for 29.
Whoever is dumb enough to say get rid of Pete doesnt remember the Lucas Duda / Ike Davis Era. KEEP PETE !!!
Vientos is right there though..
@@jpcoqueranE D
K R A N E P O O L
ED KRANE POOL!!!
Duda was solid
I am in the camp to keep Pete, to me he a solid dude and bonafide power hitter. Retire pete as a met.
Pete is a 🤡 show and didn't EARN the ASG spot, now he doesn't even belong in the derby. 😂😂😂😂 Wake up geniuses.
He never gets a clutch hit
Guys clean that football helmet. Looks like it’s covered in an inch of dust! I want to sneeze just looking at it! 😂
Pete sorta runs like Tom Cruise
betcha mets would take ben rice for pete alonso straight up
Let him go
He hired Boras as his agent. He’s outta here
Anyone who wants Pete gone isn’t a fan imo
For 18-20 million s year sure, other wise Bye Bye
Please he is getting close to 28 million per season.
All these people saying get rid of Pete Alonso are Bat Shit Crazy.
thank god he wont be here next year. evan is such an emotional tool LOL
Pete should go…. I’m not paying him the money he wants.
Guys like Tiki don’t do their homework, I guess. Does he not know that Pete - though his avg was low last season - still had 46 hRs & 118 rbi, 2nd only to his first year, when he had 53 & 120 and was the talk of baseball ??
Talk about fickle.
We Mets fans have been waiting forever to have a home-grown bopper we can root for and hope he’s a Met lifer. Strawberry wasn’t like Pete, Wright wasn’t like Pete… nobody has been like Pete.
I what world do 110+ rbi-/ 40+ HR guys grow on trees for EZ pickin’ ??!!
Morons.
This is a team that’s paid Cano 50 mil for nothing, is paying Scherzer & Verlander to pitch for other teams… and we’re somehow worried that Pete might be a little overpaid? Jezzus Christmas this fan base and journalists are stupid.
I realize many fans don't value defense as much as offense, but if I could find away to create a package deal that moves Pete Alonso to San Francisco for Matt Chapman (with Matt dropping his opt out cluase after a year), I would do that deal. You can move Vientos to 1B. Mets have many good infield prospects coming up. Chapman is greatest defensive 3B on the planet. It would be the coming of the greatest defensive 3B to play for EITHER New York Team since Craig Nettles.
Two words, "Jim Thome", look at Jim Thome's production after the Indians, 250+ homeruns in his 30's. Do you really want to see him in a Cubs uniform in the playoffs or god forbid the yankees? Pete will rebound to hit 25+ HRs with 70 RBIs in the second half. Ya Gotta Believe!!!!!!! Just one thing, layoff the outside slider, its killing you, 95% of the time its a ball.
Stay
Dude hits 40 hrs and 100 rbi every year and plays everyday and loved by teammates, only clown Met fans dont want that back, what is going on here?
OBP under .320 2nd year in a row
this happen with Noah and the angels we need to trade power for bullpen
Pete needs to go. This is going to be another very expensive bad long contract. This is business. He needs to go. He is not worth what he is asking.
Come on, don’t be thick. Every human in existence should ask for the most money. Hes not getting some crazy contract and he knows that
@@mamalannightshyamanyou can definitely ask, doesn't mean you'll always get it. The mets are fine right now without him being productive so imagine they trade him for relief pitching or a 2 or 3 starter. Pitching is paramount, and the Mets have a ton of money coming off the books so losing Pete will be fineeee
@@jpcoqueran not productive? wtf? He’s leading the team in home runs and second in rbi, still has .800+ ops with risp.
I’m starting to think being a Mets fan is something yall started a few months ago
@@mamalannightshyamanExactly, leading the team. For the money he’s asking. He should be leading the league
@@henrybravo2050 would you shut up and stop overreacting for arguments sake. What the f did I say above this, every human on earth should try to make more money. My %#*ing god we have the dumbest fan base.
He’s not going to make that much money. You know it; I know it, he knows it.
But it’s nice to know you are such an easy sell out
U don't give away a guy who is feared and respected in your line up
Feared is a choice of words
Give me a break he #s been declining last 2 seasons
