Book it - Pete eventually signs and gets clearly the LOUDEST ovation on opening day which places his mind at ease on his way to a great season.
Pete will 100 percent be back with the Mets.
That caller, zack is crazy.Mentioning the hall of fame in pete alonso in the same sentence
He already has 230 homers. He can easily reach 500 by the time his career is over. The caller isn't crazy you just don't have common sense.
@@melioda9554 Honestly where is your sense period? Below avg hitter and fielder...Why is he wanted so much bceause of a few homers? Not to mention NO LEADERSHIP QUALITIES whatsever. Stop it with this guy already.
Maybe not hall of famer, but he has value for the Mets over the next few seasons.
@@melioda9554 It’s hilarious when people like you think that just because someone hits 500 HR that gets them into the Hall of Fame. Lol.
Alonso won’t ever belong in the same stratosphere as the other 500 HR hitters who are in the HOF.
Firstly, the lowest batting average of any position player in the HOF is .253 and that’s because the he was an outstanding defensive player and the veterans committee voted him in.
Alonso is a career .249 hitter. Alonso would need to hit around .260 each of the next five seasons to get his career average to .253.
Then, when you look at the other 500 HR hitters in the HOF why don’t you tell me who’s jockstrap Alonso even sniffs:
Hank Aaron
Babe Ruth
Willie Mays
Griffey Jr
Jim Thome
Frank Robinson
Harmon Killebrew
Reggie Jackson
Mike Schmidt
Jimmie Fox
Willie McCovey
Frank Thomas
Ted Williams
Ernie Banks
Eddie Matthew’s
Mel Ott
Eddie Murray
And the lowest batting average amongst all the 500 HR HOFers is .256 with EVERYONE else at .262 or higher.
And there’s plenty more Alonso doesn’t even come close to when compared to other 500 HR hitters.
So at the end of the day, really seems like YOU don’t have the common sense.
I thought the exact same thing 😆🤦
Boras screwed this up! Sold Pete a bill of goods that he’d make way more than the market dictated and he’s in staring contest mode now to try and save face. It’s gotten to a point that negative emotions on Pete’s side kinda hard to avoid and might be best served he moves on. If I’m the Mets, I only sign him if he fires Boras, as that can help smooth over those negative energy vibes
I got so excited about Pete and vientos batting behind lindor and soto. There will be POP in the lineup. Don't wanna get my hopes up
Yankee fan here but you guys are much much more dangerous with Pete. I honestly don’t get why y’all wouldn’t want him back at 3 for 25.
He’s a guy who has been with you his whole career. Just sign him so the dodgers have a tougher time getting to the WS
its not the Mets its him. He rejected that offer
I was very down on Pete….. but after he hit that mega clutch homerun in the playoffs I’ll be really unhappy if he’s not resigned……BRING BACK THE POLAR BEAR.
I 100% believe in Pete and no changing that…LFGM!
Come on , let’s get this done .. Pete has been a great Met and needs to stay here .. stop the games , get it done
Pete Alonso is the reason the infield was solid. You get rid of him the infield falls apart. All of a sudden vientos and lindors throws to first are errors. Fans and young fans love him. He brings in people generates $$$ He struggles at the plate yet hits 30 hr's. He needs to stay and he'll be getting pitches He wasn't getting before.
BT, once again is full of hot air. Here is my progression. All regular season I was part of the contingent that groused that he was nothing more that Dave Kingman. I had been SCREAMING at the TV all year yelling at Pete to use CF and RF. The guy was trying to jerk everything to left. By the end of the regular season I was indifferent about Alonso. But then the playoffs came and the guy got selective and started using the whole field. In the postseason, Alonso was 12 for 44 (that's .273) with 10 runs scored and 10 RBI. He remembered that everything to the right of left field was still considered fair territory and became the Pete Alonso of 2019. I think the poor guy was affected by two things. The first was talking heads like yourself saying that his 53 HRs of 2019 were because of the juiced ball. ("Oh geez," he must have thought subconsciously, "I gotta swing bigger to get the ball outta this park!"). The second thing was trying to hit a ton of HRs to earn a 200 million dollar contract. When Pete remembered that right field exists, he became a guy who CAN be worth a a big money deal. He HAS that in him. He just cannot let the talking heads and idiot agents get into his head.
Alonso was hitting .216 up until the last two game against the Dodgers. Alonso was continuing his terrible hitting. In the last two games against the Dodgers Alonso got two hits in each game and THAT is what brought his average up to .273. A couple of good games in a small sample will jack up the batting average BUT Alonso absolutely did not have a good playoffs. That narrative is nonsense. A couple of clutch hits makes people think he’s a god and because of those last two games his average went to .273 and people act like he had a consistent playoffs where he hit .273 across the board.
In a three game series if a guy goes 0-3 in each of the first two games and then 3-3 in the last game he’s going to have a .333 average for the series but that guy DID NOT have a good series. Thats what Alonso did.
All the love for Pete. Truly dont get it. Hits a few homers and is a below avg hitter and fielder. Why all this love?
Come on Pete, do the right thing. #LGM
We all want Pete back. I just want to get him on a good deal. We have a lot of money locked into Soto and Lindor. We can’t afford gross overpays like what Alonso thought he was going to get
No we dont. Speak for yourself
I thought the Mets had unlimited money? Thought money didn’t matter. That’s what I heard up until December.
Or is it you guys don’t really want him back?
@@Platerpus7Do you comprehend how money works? The Mets have as much money as they want for who they want.
They want Alonso back for the amount of money they feel makes sense.
why do people love this guy? Below avg hitter and fielder. Hits a few homers here and there. Stop it with him already
Dave Kingman 2.0. But he’s better than a Canha of Canha
LOOK who is talking! BT, you and SAL go back and forth more than METS FANS my guy, rewatch your podcast!
This guy is such a Met haters, and granted he's a Die Hard Yankee Fan..... But he says some stupid stuff sometimes. There's no true Met fan that doesn't want Pete Back, but we also understand the NEW front office is going to be smart about everything. We want Pete but we don't need any one player. We already have that one player and his name is Juan Soto..
You talk about how Met fans would react if Alonso signs with the Jays?? OHHHH....you mean how Yankee fans dealt with Soto signing with the Mets??
Bring Pete back !! A 4-year contract for $100m is fair to both sides. Beware of Boras.... his influence derails the negotiations.
Mets aren't going anywhere near that. Their 3/70M offer isn't even on the table anymore.
Nothing happens until Vlad's situation is revealed. Jays sign Vlad, Mets will get it done. Jays DON'T sign Vlad, and the Mets will hold firm. And Pete becomes more attractive to Jays
If Pete does not hit that Homer in Milwaukee most fans wouldn't care.
In my mind...I had already packed his suitcase prior to that HR.
Resign Pete
Move him to DH next season and trade for vlad. Vlad at 1B and Pete at DH
Vlad want's Soto money. Is Cohen ready to open the wallet again?
Most Met's fans want Pete to re-sign with the team
We obviously want the home grown power hitter/homie in this lineup. But we’re not gonna cry if he’s gone, cmon now. Let’s go Mets!
..maybe a little crying
This is phenomenal championship-level gaslighting... the fluctuations in YOUR positions about Pete have been amazing!
I have wanted Pete back since the Soto signing because I realize that adding Soto and deleting Pete is just a slight improvement. Yes of course Soto is a better all around player but from a run production standpoint.
I'm done with WFAN and their click-bait videos like this one.
Fact.
The Mets created WFAN so how did the Yankees take it over? Cohen buy it back !!!
Yoy got it right. If ALONSO resigns, it should be LINDOR , VIENTOS or NIMMO, SOTO and PETE in thr lineup.
Pete will sign before Valentine’s Day and him and cohen will have dinner and give each other flowers on the 14th. Lol
BT retire already. all this talk is a waste of time. it all ends withit being about himself
I agree but the reason is we have never been able to keep our own stars !!! And I have never faltered on Pete but also don’t want to mortgage the future for nostalgia!! But needs to stay because he is ours and he is also the best option out there so it’s a win win !! I think David Stearns should not try to be too cute !!
we all want pete back, were just over this back n forth
What is this crazy click baity title on here
I'd like to have Pete back.
For sure❤.
I want that WFAN football helmet for my bookcase
BT wanted a deal with the Astros for Tucker, and! before the trade, Tucker should give something in writing that he wouldn't be a free agent the year after the trade!
Her is the problem with BORAS -
he bases projected salary on PAST performance
in the 60s there was no long term contracts,
you do well, you make the owner money, we reward you the NEXT year,
you SUCK, you deserve to take a pay cut, even return some of what we paid or expected,
Cohen PAID Pete even more than what he was seeking year after year,
a huge contrast to the Wilpon's when he earned more money in the HR derby,
so like Cohen said last year, I hope he performs well
for if and when a player does and he makes his owner say
he's worth keeping around, he's making me money, so I will reward him.
Problem today is = many show up
and demand a pay check just for showing up
and doing nothing
Dude! Math wasn't your strong suit was it? Occam's razor says that the simplest solution/explanation is probably the answer. Has it occurred to you that half the Mets fans are 'Pro-Pete' and half are 'Meh! Take him or leave him"
As a Mets fan, I'll be honest, I'll take him, but I want a World Series more, and he just wasn't my top choice, still isn't, if we are going to really compete with the Dodgers.
if Pete is not on the opening day roster,
Mr. Met is going to be awful lonely and sad
Love Pete, want him to be a met for life. But this whole thing had gotten blown outta proportion. Turned down way too many good deals and like cohen said it’s been exhausting.
Pete sign as a DH
If he could hit ( in the clutch and for average), we'd hire him as a first baseman.
“We’re going to get Sal back on Monday.” Please don’t. Take your time to heal Sal. Let BT gaslight and project onto Mets fans by himself
How about a fair $125/ 4yr million dollar contract?? It's better and more fair than the bread crumbs that STINGY STEARNS has to give him.
Fair? OK...if that is your opinion, fine. But I'm glad you aren't in charge of my checkbook. Pete is not worth over 30 M per year, in my opinion. 125M for 6 years would be a great deal. Somewhere between my great deal and your fair deal is a realistic deal, yes? Oh! is that you, Scott?
You don't win with the emotional baggage in support of a player... the bottom line is that you win by producing...
If Pete wanted to be a Met..he would be
05:39 💯
95 percent of met fans want pete to stay…. He just will never get more than a 3 yr deal anywhere and his agent is a bloodsucking idiot . He blew it for conforto and now pete , uses Ny to drive up the players price which works often but not all the time . This is a time it’s not going to work . Hope he comes back but gotta be a deal that works for both teams . #LFGM
Give Pete 35 mil for 2 years, with a chance to renegotiate after this year/next year.
Nothing being revealed here, misleading
Just Francisco lindor best glove in the mlb
He and Conforto wouldn't take pay cuts to stay, we know what happened with Michael's career.
Who’s protecting Soto if not Pete? You can’t ask second year Mark Vientos to do that. Vientos is fine as your 5th hitter where he’s essentially a depth power hitter who can move up in the event of injury. Nimmo is not enough of a power hitter either to protect Soto. the Mets need that 35-40 HR threat behind him to have an offense that can compete with the top teams in the NL. It Vientos is playing 1st and Baty 3rd on opening day, the offseason is objectively a failure. The difference between Soto and Pete is 7 HR 21 RBI. That will not be enough to win a World Series
I've got a surprise for METS' fans. VLAD is not going to age well and when he gets to be 30 to 31 yrs old , he'll look like a wheel barrel.
Let's not act like all fans don't justify things. Are we gonna act like Yankee fans didn't start down playing Soto as a player once he signed with the Mets. That he wasn't worth the money. That he is a great hitter but can't play defense and the rest of the nonsense that was said
would you rather have Pete in the post season or Aaron Judge????????
He messed up. He should have taken the 6/154 or whatever from Eppler. Alonso is not a Freddy Freeman
What i dont understand is we give Soto over 700million for a slightly better then outfielder.And we cant give Pete after waiting to become a free agent a little extra.He plays his heart out wants to be a Met.I say 4 years with and team option on the 5.3 at 25 and 2 at 20.So 5 for 110 to115.Then he can be your DH in year 4 and 5.Plus theres no way Soto is 7 times worth more then Pete no way.
If u cannot make an argument for Alonso without mentioning Soto you have no argument.
lol Alonso couldn’t hold a candle to Pete ever could
you mean how the Yankee fans acted the same exact way during and after Soto signed? smh its always the Mets fans and how they act
Yeah I’m going to have to disagree with you, 5 of my coworkers are Mets fans and not a single one has given up on Pete or moved on.
They have to give the kids a chance just like they did with Ventos.
Get him back for God sake man , this is a business, Cohen is about to lost big money by nickel and dime Pete. You had him all these years for next to nothing . He deserves this. Hes a franchise player . Not signing Pete will be bad for business. Its Cohens own fault signing Soto spending as much money on a guy we didn't even want to begin with. If they cant afford to pay Pete what he wants now, that's their own faults .As for Soto, he Is highly over rated, But with Big Pete in the line up makes the Mets extremely dangerous
sometimes BT just likes hearing himself speak. the anti mets, yankee bias just oozes out of him. kind of exhausting.
If Pete were a better player I'd want the Mets to pursue a contract...but hes not. His last two seasons have been very underwhelming. His batting with runners on base is miserable, this chase rate has declined two years running, he struck out over 170 times, and is a very mediocre 1B. There is no logic in all the pursuing him. He was already offered a generous deal and declined. Then end. Keep it moving
He would be playing with a paid Nimmo, Lindor and Soto while believing that He had to settle with being under paid.
Think about being currently the worst player on the Mets 26 man right now. You’re still obviously a major league athlete, but if Pete signs you’re out.
Very judgmental coming from a fan base that is still doing the same thing with Soto lol
And I’ve wanted Pete gone for 2 years
Nothing a Yankee fan breaking down the Mets B.T. and Sal 2 no nothings
Lol boomer said it would happen..it's hasn't
King is staying with the padres.
Boomer said the announcement would be at 10:05am.
this is past annoying he's not coming back to me Pete will end up with the blue jays/angels. maybe someone else i just don't see a reunion it's dragged on too long.
Mets will finish 3rd behind Philly and Atlanta.
Sort of how Yankee fans talk about Soto.
Alonso numbers are going down every year
Is it Pete or his damn agent making this the mess it has become? I never liked Pete, he comes off as a jackass and especially after the all star game / homerun derby from 2024. He would only compete in the derby if he was picked for the all star team. (What a jack-ass)
Pete could always do pancake commercials
1 year £30 million and go for Vlad after x
This guy's trolling, right? Give me a break? Reaching a bit.
He is nowhere near as good as you all think he is... borderline delusional
Bobby is Sal…
Misleading click bait title. But you do you. :-)
Brandon is the biggest fool on the radio
😂😂 worse pod cast by far. Miss information and Yankees definitely don’t have the best closer in all baseball. Man you Yankee fans really think you got it all.
Whats the shocking news? Nothing new here. Clickbait nonsense.
Pete is running out of options
His fate isn't revealed, you clickbait idiots.
Yankee fans worse spoiled complaining look at losing soto
Was like dems when trump won election again 🙄 lol 😅 😆 🤣
Speak for yourself Zack, not all of us Mets fans want Pete back. I loved Pete as a Met, but ultimately the goal is to win a WS & for the $ he's asking for compared to what he provides for that $, he's not worth it & the ones in the front office also have that same sentiment which is why they gave him and Boras their hard line on what they're willing to give him. One of the only things that has always proven to be true in this game are the numbers & his numbers have been on the decline for 3 yrs. Also shame on those Mets fans who booed Stearns at Amazin day. He has done nothing but prove himself with smart transactions since day 1 and took a team every Met fan (myself included), analyst, etc counted out last year and got to the NLCS within 2 wins from the WS. Pete had his chance under Eppler to sign that extension but bet on himself and lost. If Pete would have signed that extension, most of the same Met fans that booed Stearns and who want Pete back now would have been calling for his head after the seasons he's had since and would be screaming how his extension was a mistake.
I think theyd be getting an unhappy Pete that would not be good for the team.
It won't happen. Pete, if he signs, will get the loudest ovation on Opening Day which will show him how much the fans love him. That will put him at ease. Book it.
@user-fp5do5ie3p the issue is the ownership not the fans. He may get past it but He's didn't even handle the media well last year.
@user-fp5do5ie3p now what if the Mets Dylan C. and extend Him long term. How's Pete gonna handle that ?
So he'll be a Met again after crawling back at a discount.. He turned down his extension in 2023 because he saw what Judge in 2022.. Yeah that one didn't work out so well for ya Pete.
Good way to upgrade Soto....you had Judge as your protection and now you have?
~ a jealous Yankee fan
@@eldiablony274 Jealous of an organization who is consistly losing and has 2 championships in their 63 yr existence? Don't think so.
Saying the Mets have to make concessions to keep him is MADNESS! If there was actually a market for him then absolutely they will but he doesn't and the Mets don't have to make any concessions 😂
I don’t have any sentimental attachment to Pete at all. I’ve been watching him longer than almost all Met fans since I’m a Gator fan too. I want to win and last season really put a fork in it for me with Pete. He isn’t a leader in the clubhouse and pressure he doesn’t respond to very well. I would rather have better defense at 1st base and a power hitting DH. That would make this team 💯 better than re-signing Pete.
When Soto signed with the Mets Yankees fans came on saying that Soto can’t run the bases, he is terrible defensively on and on and on. I am a die hard Mets fan since 84 & I do not want Alonso back because I’m tired of him & his bull shit. Can Cohen show some balls and sign his replacement
Why even bring up Toronto if everyone is thinking he's coming back as a Met. This is getting so ridiculous.
Cohen and Stearns shitting all over Pete. They bent over for Soto. Paying for his mother’s clothes. He got 800 million. I hope pete moves on
The teacher of flipping calling Mets fans flippers...cmon dolphin😂😂😂
Pete deserves a good contract because of his solid track record with the METS, not the bread crumbs that STINGY STEARNS has offered him.
Jose, do you not comprehend that because of what Alonso did in 2019-2021 his salary went from $617k to $7 million in 2022 then $14 million in 2023 and $20 million 2024?!?! Alonso has been paid for his “track record” already!!!! And while his salary was going up like crazy his performance has been declining. Stop with the crap comments without knowing what’s fully going on.
I love Pete, but he deserves what the market calls for. You don’t throw an extra hundred million dollars at someone for sentimental reasons.
Pete has heart, is homegrown & been a big part of their success recently. Mets sold their soul for Soto & forgetting what’s important.
If you would pick Pete over Soto you know nothing about baseball
How was the METS Offering Pete Alonso a 7 years and $158M Contract back in May/June 2023 Not Knowing What was Important? Pete Alonso turning down that Contract was Pete forgetting His Value as a Baseball Player.
New York Mets Fans value Pete more than MLB TEAMS DO. Pete is not a horrible player, I love him, of course I would love to have him back but at the right price. His market is not there. Why should they compete with the Jays.
Incorrect. The Mets offered Alonso 7 years at $170 million last year. He took bad advice from his.agent and turned it down, and there is currently no market for him. Now his agent is trying to recoup some of the money he lost his guy, so he is trying to create a market that doesn’t exist. The only way to do that is by waiting as long as you have to. They don’t care if they don’t sign until March.
@@jasonfocacci9234 You’re Just Wrong. The Only Contract Reported by Multiple Sources that Offered to Pete Alonso was 7-yrs $158M. Stop Listening to your Drug Dealer for Sports Information.
5/125,000 no opt outs until the 3rd year.
That would do it.
Ha.
No
@nroman387 fine give him 7 years. 🐨🐻🐨🐻🐨🐻
LGM
Ha.
The Mets 3/70M is the best deal he could get. Boras was just using the Jay's to try to jack up the price. The Jay's offer was less than what the Mets were offering and Canada has a bigger tax
@@ricky5954 well than up it to 3 year 80 and call it a day. That's like a nickel for Cohen and gives Pete a modicum of a win.
Ha.
@@Am0ment0fB I think the Mets offered 3/90M before and Boras declined. Why bid against yourself when Alonso best other offer is way less than the Mets. The buzz is Alonso is going to resign with the Mets anyway. Alonzo does not want to sign with the Jay's for less money and Canada has a bigger tax. I just hope the Alonso regression of the past two years does not continue if they resign him
Those are 2 guys that LOVE the sound of their own voices & The loser Sal still hasn’t figured out that it’s supposed to be a give & take with the callers, but instead hangs up on them so that he can make his own arrogant comments ! LOL ! What a CLOWN 👍🏻🇺🇸
Speak for yourself I wanted him gone 2 yrs ago you are ALL ONLY fooling yourselves with Alonso
