Exactly. Everyone wants to hate on the Mets, but HE turned them down, then hired Boras as a “I will show you!!” In doing so I’m sure the Mets took offense and didn’t want to be strong armed. Pete doesn’t care about legacy, he just wants a bigger bag of money. He should enjoy his time in Toronto. NOT.
Exactly I’m getting so tired of all these mets fans demanding he needs to be paid … he doesn’t care, he just wants a massive contract that he’s not gonna get because his performance has been sliding… hope he leaves
Every year one of Scott Boras’ clients pays the price for greed..the Mets offered Alonso 7 years and 148 Mil and he turned it down..He blew it and his career will never be the same..Players come to NY ..be it the Yankees or Mets..they don’t leave NY..he will hate it in Toronto or Seattle..
This year, one of Boras' clients, Juan Soto got a record breaking contract. Alonso is unsigned because he is demanding too much money for mid performance. Alonso was in a contract year and had a down year, couldn't even be bothered to step up his game
I think the fact that the Mets have leaked info on the negotiations indicates they're ready to move on. It almost seems they'd prefer Pete not take their offer.
@iTalkStudios what are the odds that the Mets told Soto that if he signed with them that he would end up being their franchise leader in Homeruns at the end of his career?
I can believe that the Mets have not signed Pete 😢😂 that's crazy because they couldn't give Soto to all that money for real but not the one person that helped them to get close to the world serious
Being a jays fan sucks man.. roki isn’t coming alanso isn’t coming Santander isn’t coming hell even Jeff Hoffman wouldn’t of come here if not for all those physicals. it’s insulting at this point
It's the same JD Martinez game of chicken that apparently the Sox are doing with Bregman (although, I think you need to have an offer first to be in the game).
@ if he had gone out and hit 50 HR this past season then people would be lining up to have him. GM and owners (and fans) all have recent bias when it comes to their decisions. He gambled on himself and come up short.
Taking a ridiculously long time to decide is a turn off to a lot of teams. When you meet someone and this stuff is dragged on and on you kind of get tired of the game I could imagine.
Mets fan here: I have a more creative Alonso work-around here, I think. So the Blue Jays are asking too much for a Vladdy trade? There's another one year rental 1B on the trade market right now. One who wouldn't cost the prospect capital Vladdy would. That man is none other than the 1 WAR batting champ, Luis Arraez. Who, btw, is probably better than a 1 WAR guy. The last two seasons each he was over 4 WAR, so that's probably more who he is. It's easy to believe last year was a down year for him, and that he'll probably really go off in his FA season. Then next winter, you have Vladdy available, AND Arraez, AND possibly Alonso at this point haha
As A Mets fan this will be a disaster , we were help up ransom with Soto , we have no pitching no relive improvement we spent everything on one player and will loose hometown favorite in Pete .
Alonso is gonzo from the Mets. Hey Mets, keep your hands off of Vladdy Guerrero! Jays are losing out on everyone and it’s TOUGH to watch anymore! And this just in - Sasaki is going the Dodgers - Jays lose out again!! Geez…
I can’t disagree with the Mets at all on this one. People will bring up the fact the Mets overpaid for Soto but people don’t understand that’s what the market dictated. Soto had a bidding war. Boston was ready at $700m and Yankees were right there at $760m. There’s no bidding war for Pete. The 3/$90m was thrown out there by his camp and not one team reported that they were willing to bite on that or even come close to it. Even 3/$70m is not having teams jump on it. I’m sure Stearns had enough of talking to a brick wall and just said “we got moves to make here. Keep in touch.”
People would easily visit Toronto, but no one really wants to live there. Canadian taxes are higher with a very high cost of living. The passport stuff is probably also a massive pain. My sympathies Blue Jays fans.
From a team perspective, the Mets don't really need Pete Alonso. They have Soto, Lindor, Vientos, Winker, and that's just to name a few. That's already plenty of bats. The thing is, Pete Alonso actually needs them. Looking at some of his other options, they aren't great. The Mets are really the best fit for him. Pete wanted to test Steve Cohen's wallet and get the most money he could. He should've taken their earlier offer. He brought this one down on himself. Don't blame the Mets for him getting greedy
I have a feeling Soto and Lindor are gonna struggle early on. maybe longer. Winker is mediocre. So, yeah the Mets are really gonna miss him. He got too greedy though.
@@vernpascal1531 Pete sucked last year, while Lindor and Vientos had a great year in 2024. If the coach didn't tell Pete how Devin Williams was tipping his pitches before he hit the HR, he probably grounds out into a DP to end the Mets season.
1B is nothing more then a pre-DH position, now that DH employment is available everywhere. MLBPA might have wanted to think this DH business through, really downgrades the value of 1Bs. Your just a pre-DH when your defense is awful.
A new take I’ve been starting to develop is the idea that the 1st base position is gonna see a major resurgence after being devalued a lot like the runningback in the NFL… Teams are getting way too cute with their unwillingness to use random platoon guys at the position and subsequently devaluing the best position at the most valuable thing a position player can do (hit)… The 2 most important aspects of the game are pitching and hitting to an absurd point (that’s probably 95% of the game)… Over time I think team’s will realize that they can get 30+ homerun hitters for cheap and just go for it… There’s absolutely no reason Dansby Swanson can get that type of contract but no one’s willing to give Alonso 27 mil over 4 or 5 years even off a down year (although his statcast stayed pretty consistent)
You are forgetting that Pete was never asking for that or has been willing to accept such an offer. He has wanted 200 million this entire off season and only recently asked the mets if they would do a 3 year for 90 million with opt outs. The mets countered with 3 years and 68 million.
@ I’m not here to argue Alonso’s asking price, my take is related to the team’s unwillingness to give out a big contract to first baseman in recent r years 3 years 70 mil is a joke for a hitter of Alonso’s caliber and that’s the overall point… I stated that teams aren’t valuing first baseman nearly enough, not that first baseman are worth their demands I wouldn’t give Alonso 200 mil but he’s worth more than 23 mil per year… This is a league where Kevin Kiermaier was making over 10 mil and where seemingly ever average pitcher can get well over 10
Good riddance with that greedy entitled player. Mets gave him 7 years 158 million offer and he passed, gambled and he his numbers went down across the board. Only played 6 years with Mets that is nothing, all this delusional mets fans say pay pay him, like what? All star Christian Walker got 3 years $60 million and is gold glover, hits for 300, and hits 30 HR. Mets offered Alonso more money and he doesn't have the same skill set as Walker. Juan Soto has done major accomplishments already at age 26 that only Barry Bonds, Babe Ruth , Ted Williams, have done at the same age. Alonso doesn't even come close.
Pete really thinks he should be getting 30m a year.. bro Freddie Freeman doesnt even get 30, he got 27 and pete isnt even close to as good as freddie considering freddie is a GG & MVP candidiate every year and pete is only a SS possibility every year. He should be getting 20 a year maybe. And he could've had 22.5.. smh
And poor Pete’s still trying to grow a chin throughout all this. Boras(shole) told him he had AK suited instead of the 7-deuce off he’s lookin at. This’ll be a new case study. For sure.
I think its all on scott Boras blowing steam up petes Ass, he shoulda took the extension eppler gave him, anyway Petes probably going to end up bsck in Queens or no where simply because no other team is intrested. As a Met fan i love pete but you cant have the type of walk year he did and expect a huge payday, itll never happen
Can we all just agree that the Yankees franchise is a bunch of losers now😂 literally could have easily scooped up Alonso with the way the Mets have been treating him but they wanted the cheaper option that will most likely retire after this year. And they lost Soto to the Mets😂 Yankees are the little brother in New York now😂
So this is how they pay the guy hitting 40+ hrs multiple years and sending them to the playoffs against the brewers !! Mets are a bunch of Ungrateful sobb !!!
Wrong! Mets got to the playoffs in spite of Alonso's poor regular season performance. He came through with a huge hit in the playoffs. Sometimes, even the blind squirrel finds the nut.
he's a first basemen who can't run or field who just had 2 down years in a row and isn't a great hitter. At least he's very durable so he has that going for him. If you wanna overpay someone because of a playoff home run it's gonna bite you in the ass.
@elcidcampeador9629 .800 ish ops for a bad defensive first basemen who strikes out a ton isn't anything special. Is it poor hitting ? No. It has some value. Just not the value that you think it has. And no he doesn't field fine. He fields like shit while playing the easiest defensive position on the field. He's not the star you make him out to be. Nobody with half a brain is paying him extra for the home run off of Williams either.

Yea, I remember him crying cause 90% of his viewers weren't subscribed lol.
The writing is spot on.
It's wild to me that anyone, let alone an above average baseball player would ever turn down $22 million a year.
Also apparently Sasaki is not going to be a padre...
Put the Rangers back in the mix! 😂
He’s a dodger!!
@Noteak14 not another one 😭😭😭
Obviously, because he's going to be a Dodger.
@Flashspeed84YTwell, well, well
If Alonso wanted to be a Met he wouldn't have hired Boras. He only wants to get paid.

Thank you!

Teams don’t value 1st baseman any longer yet the WS MVP was in fact the best first baseman in all of the game…let that sink in.
???
You do know Alonso is demanding to be paid more than Freddie Freeman, right? Let that sink in.
Alonso isn't close to Freeman.
Without Pete, Soto will walk 150+ times. Nimmo clean up isn't scaring anyone
Have you not heard of mark vientos
It’s gonna be lindor Soto then Vientos. I’m a dodgers fan lol
Your forgetting the very real possibility of Vladdy jr next year
casual
Vientos is a beast.
I’m part of the 43.1% I hardly ever sound off down below but I always like a 👍🏻! Mets are doing the right thing by moving on from Pete Alonso
Thank you!!!
Calling it, Pete Alonso is gonna play just like Jordan Montgomery

I’ve been saying it’s Conforto 2.0 for awhile now. Damn shame. A lot of people to blame here. Wish Pete would come back but the line keeps moving.
Sasaki's on a plane to Toronto
Are there not other options besides boras?
DODGERS JUST SIGNED SASKI
Nobody gives a fuck
If I were the Mets, I woul let Pete Alonso go, put Vientos in 1B this season and give a big contract to Vlady Jr next year.
I guess the Mets didn't want to pay Alonoso what he wanted. So much for the Polar Bear retiring as a Met.
Sasaki went to the LAD. The Mets have real problems with their patchwork rotation. They need to worry about pitching, they have a good lineup.
Im pretty sure the Soto return was the one given by New York to San Diego not the first trade
latest rumor has it that p.alonso is heading for anaheim -boo yahhhh! alonso-trout back to back just might be what the angels needed to make a run
It's the same JD Martinez game of chicken that apparently the Sox are doing with Bregman (although, I think you need to have an offer first to be in the game).
I think the Mets are done negotiating with Pete…but if Pete comes back and says yes to their last offer then they will take it.

Mets are taking a page from the old Yankees playbook. Let a player walk a year early rather than keep him two years too long.
Padres OUT on Sasaki! And he ain’t goin ta no Toronto. 👀🤷♂️

Yes unless you have good defense and can hit well like Christian Walker.
So as part of the Mets pivoting to Plan B, they just got AJ Minter for 2 years
