Agreed. Walker would be a step down in every way outside of fielding, and even there Pete's been rivaling him. And that's not getting into his value to the franchise off the field.
I agree but this will all come down to price tag and what happens with Soto the biggest need this team needed was a capable bullpen they need a lefty and a few more arms to come in and get the job done
@@JF20314 Soto should not be first priority it should be Pete cause even if we don't get Soto we can try and sign Tiosco Hernandez or even Ozuna for 1 year and add that to Pete cause if we lose Pete we don't replace him with 1 bat we still need 2 big bats cause Pete didn't have real protection behind him in the lineup this year soon as JD started to fade
@@LoKnowsBoxing Pete had his worst year ever with RISP before his home run against the brewers his legacy was looking like the guy that tripped on his own bat but thankfully Pete woke up and became the guy we all were waiting for all year it will be special for him to break the Mets home run record but you dont pass on a generational talent in Soto and in reality this will be all on cohen cause if he wants both of them he will get both
Tough decision. Pete Alonso in my opinion is an old free agent due to the Mets blocking his early play with Dominic Smith. Gotta get Soto and more contact guys. Love to have Alonso back.....but we cant make the same mistake keeping younger ballplayers down like we almost did with Vientos waiting for Bret Baty to deliver.
@@basiliosfafalios9242 Alonso I think is gonna get blown away by another team....its gonna be real hard to turn down. Im gonna miss his 1st base defense....he really is a solid feilder. My gosh...I can see Alonso hitting .300 on another team. His swing developed at Citi feild in mind.
I say let Alonzo walk. He’s gonna ask for too much. Use that money on bullpen. I’m definitely bringing Winker & Manaea back. Ppl forget the hungry talent like Ronny Mauricio who’s ready to come up next year. Let Vientos play first. Give Baty a real shot. Acuna is on the rise. Thats the thing is we have options. So the Middle infield is gonna pan itself out. I’d love to go after Soto by the way…
Vlad Guerrero Jr, who is 5 years younger, isn’t available in 2025, so the Mets must sign Alonso. The Mets will have Ronnie Mauricio back and you have to think that Acuna will be on the roster reasonably early in 2025, so this is a pretty loaded team, offensively. The Dodgers series showed that the Mets just need a couple of good starting pitchers to be a top contender. Thankfully, I think the Mets finally have a manager that makes a difference.
If they did get Adames he’d probably play third and if they Resigned Alonso Vientos would be primary DH.. my guess.. guys like Baty and or Mauricio would be traded for a high end pitcher under more than one year control..
No such thing as home grown bias. The fans will turn in a heartbeat. We were 1 at bat away from letting him walk with no concern. Get soto. If u cant get alonso back
Gotta bring back Alonso , you know he’s good for 40 + dingers , can handle NY , and is defensively sound. Get Adames put him at 2b and bring back Manea and get Snell ! Easily said then done!! LGM!!
Resign Alonso.. Manea Iglesias and Winker.. Sign Corbin Burnes and add top quality bullpen arms… Mauricio and Acuna will be given every opportunity to prove themselves in 2025..
Signing Alonso to a long term deal is the dumbest thing Stearns can do.. Stop with the home grown garbage when he starts breaking down at 32 years old.
