As far as I'm concerned PETE should be given a five yr contract worth 27 million dollars per seasob. Anything else is an inault and a slap in the face of ALONSO. He's the most durable player in MLB, a perennial 35 to 45 hr per yr and his defense saved the rest of the infield lots of errors.
A mailbag question. If the Mets go to a six man rotation, doesn’t that mean they have to carry one less position player? Aren’t they essentially deciding to add another pitcher- and they still need to carry the same number of bullpen arms because they will need them. Does that make their bench shorter?
I am a big Mets fan and grew up in the same hometown, Great Neck, as Steve Cohen. I also graduated from the same business school, Wharton, and also worked as a trader on Wall Street. I could do a better job than these guys on this podcast.
Let’s Go Mets!!! Enough is enough! Give Pete a Chance! Best Met ever!!! Pete could have another 50 Homer year with the Dominican Bomber (Juan Soto) in front or back of Pete Alonso!!! Put the Money 💴 where the mouth is! Pete’s a Sure thing!!! Guaranteed !!!…FantasticoMets69! Over 50 years as a Met believer & Supporter ! !
They still need Burnes . His price will come down and Cohen has the money no matter what. If they are serious about beating the dodgers they have to spend. Along with doing all the economical analytics type stuff to get undervalued talent.
If the Mets add another pitcher, It'll be a front-line starter...no more back-end projects. No talk about Corbin Burnes. Think there's a chance for a 5-year, 1.75 m with opt-outs? He'd still have value at age 35. The Yankees signing Max Fried for the long term spooked MLB owners. Nobody wants Burnes for 7-years at 250 M plus or he' already be signed.
If this team signs Alonso and wants to actually win, he should be batting second and Soto third. Lindor, Alonso, Soto, Vientos and we take it from there.
@ I can see where you’re coming from. That said, however, he is a rally killer. Strikes out so much and grounds into double plays. BUT…he has .260-.270 somewhere inside of him. Thats why I think Lindor, who doesn’t need protection, will be fine leading off in front of Alonso and Alonso will be protected by Soto so Alonso will see much better pitches which can greatly help him. Almost like a Schwarber batting leadoff deal.
True but batting in front of Soto will give him MUCH better pitches to hit. Pete batting 4th hasn't worked because he sees I believe the second least amount of pitches in the strike zone so if he's batting in front of Soto pitchers can't pitch Pete that way because they have to deal with Soto next and we all know his eye and ability so that would be death for apposing pitchers but at the same time Vientos rakes in the number 2 spot lol that said is have Pete 2nd and Vientos 4th so have to agree with the first comment with Lindore Alanso Soto and Vientos (WOW what a top 4!)@@greggo1131
I'll say it again. Pete Alonso is the RBI leader since 2019. He's an unbelievable player. He had a .999 OPS in the postseason. He is as good as it gets. This is not a Stearns being good at his job. This is Stearns being bad at his job. This is Stearns who also thought Houser was a good idea. With all die respect, it is buffoonery not to pay Pete. A guy who just played 162 games he is 30 years young. Are you all effin insane. 158 million wasa good deal? Soto just got 765. Lindor has that egregious contract for 10 years. NOBODY HITS HOME RUNS LIKE PETE IN THE ENTIRE NL. Entire MLB perhaps except Judge these are the effin stats since Pete joined the effin league. A bunch of clowns 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡 all of you.
@sofakingfresh6513 How does it feel to be such a loser in real life that you need to comment on Mets videos thinking your comment does anything other than demonstrate how big a loser you are?
Hopefully they can sign both! Alanso to DH next year and Vlad Jr at 1st Lindore Alanso Soto Vientos Vlad Jr talk about murders row! Other than the dodgers tell me another team that would have a better top 5 in baseball top 6 if you included Nimmo!
Sorry I disagree with you guys this rotation is average at best. Definitely going to have trouble beating the Dodgers with this starting and Staff and the Phillies are still better than us.
Both of you guys were killing Vientos last year. You were in favor of the Mets playing Vogelbach over him. Completely disagree with your view on Alonso, you’re dramatically undervaluing him. He will definitely sign with the Mets for at least 5 guaranteed years at 25 to 30 million a year. LGM😊
@@joe_demayoThis one!! They were supporting the ridiculous decision to play Vogelbach over Vientos. They went as far to question Vientos future with the Mets.
Ya don't trade for what you can just sign him as a FA if you trade then sign him that's paying twice for the same thing and that's bad business.....forget about bad it's plain stupid business just ask the Yankees they got cocky with Soto and what happened? They didn't resign him like they were so sure they were going to so all I'm saying is be patient and wait for Vlad to hit FA and go from there who knows the Mets may sign him AND keep the prospects for a trade at this coming deadline or next off-season (after signing Vlad) to fill a need. Side note can you imagine if they DO sign bregman? Lindore Alanso Soto Vientos Bregman Nimmo Alvarez Taylor/seri and McNeil/Acuna/Iglesias
I voted for you guys! You have the best podcast!
Still not seeing how this is a world series bullpen. Cant remember last time a team won a WS with a suspect bullpen. Need at least two more live arms
Pen arms are the easiest thing to add during the season. I would love to see another solid addition before the season starts though.
Yes. Corbin Burnes.
Reed Garret, Nunez , Raley, Butto, Diaz
Yeah, that tends to happen when you wildly overpay one guy.
@Dub-ro9tk Their payroll is substantially lower than last year. Casual

You have the best podcast guys!!!!
Appreciate you guys bringing us the news. Happy Holidays!
Lets go Mets
MINI MARKET STEARNS can also take a flier on QUINTANA for relieve duty and spot starter.
Mini market Stearns is a spot on name. Go Mets
Sean Manea is a sweet baby angel!
I could see the Mets waiting to see what this pitching rotation is and if they need a pitcher waiting for the trade deadline to add one .
Now let’s resign Pete, get Bregman, get Burnes, and 2 more bullpen arms and we’re ready for the WS
Room for one more starting picture quality one of our pitchers bring up

Framber Valdez - trade, now we would be nasty
Already voted
Starting Pitching looks almost set now
Still need a starter but we're getting close
Clapping
If Soto is batting behind Alonzo who's batting behind Soto?
@joe Maybe Seattle, who needs offense... but it's a big maybe
This is just right. Shame he was stubborn over a 4th year or this would've been done much sooner.

In stearns we trust
Trade for VLAD

Will be 33 in a couple months. No idea how anyone thinks this guy was getting 5 years.
If this team signs Alonso and wants to actually win, he should be batting second and Soto third. Lindor, Alonso, Soto, Vientos and we take it from there.
Flip Vientos and Alonso and I agree
Alonso is not at all what you want in a #2 hitter. He's the prototypical 4 guy. Doesn't have much besides power.

They balance each other out
😂😂 getting fleeced again!!

I don't get it. Who got fleeced? How so?
Who?
Yankee tears!
@@dashx1103I'm wondering the same thing lol who got fleeced
Disagree - we need another starter. We lost 3. Not a believer in Montas and Holmes is a longshot. Get Burnes. Figure it out or trade for Castillio
Vlad over Alonso every day..

Mets have a bunch of average to average + pitchers.

What show were you listening to??
@@joe_demayoThis one!! They were supporting the ridiculous decision to play Vogelbach over Vientos. They went as far to question Vientos future with the Mets.
Sean Menea is worth an emergency podcast? He got hot for a year, give me a break. Most likely average pitcher over lifetime of contract.
Trade for Vlad, sign Tanner Scott!
