My Thoughts on the Pete Alonso Situation

 


Spring training will start soon and Pete Alonso is still unsigned.  Something has to happen soon.  I think Pete dropped the ball a year ago when he turned down a contract for $158 million over 7 years.  He bet on he had an himself and lost since he had an off-season.  I think that his agent Scott Boras is the troublemaker here.  Steve Cohen said that the negotiations have been exhausting.  Alonso should not get a bonus if he opt out of his contract.

If Pete does not have any more options, he should sign ASAP so he can start spring training on time.  I think the Mets should give him an ultimatum and give him a final offer.  If he doesn't accept it, they need to make plans without him for 2025.

I am tired of reading fake news about this on Facebook.
