Ryan is doing a great job. He’s just reporting the speculation that is floating around.
100% I just stumbled on his channel looking for this report and glad I did!! Well broken down and word for word exactly the way I'm leaning towards Alonso.. it's refreshing to see a Metropolitans fan with a head on his shoulders about the game!
I’m personally done with Pete , let him go and ge value back
pete moss is done with YOUS
This is starting to look like Conforto all over again. Rejected contract extension, contract year, Boras is the agent. Pete will either be traded or walk.
Boras starting to live up to his name a.ss
You can't let this Mets offense off the hook. Morton is almost 40 and the Mets have seen him countless times. They should be putting something up on the board against him. This lineup seems to me to not understand how to mesh as a unit. Perhaps it's time Mendoza sits them down and explains what is expected of each hitter. They actually seem confused together trying to score runs.
Very true a team slump collectively 3 years? Lol😮😢 time to break this team up enough bally hoo
He's no star I rather have a contact hitter what good is a hr other than a solid hit ? He's not fantastic he's just average a Kingman type is what he is!
@@MarkLevine-oc7vk I tend to agree..... Alonso and Lindor are not reliable in crunch situations..... McNeil is in a 2 year slump....Baty isn't hitting....JD Martinez hasn't impressed me.... and the bottom of the batting order is really bad. They need a new look. Lindor isn't a good fit in the lineup because he goes cold for long stretches and this team needs a couple of good batting averages in their lineup.
He’s not worth $158 million. He’s a .215 hitter and he’s in his prime. Imagine how bad of a hitter he will be in the next 5 years.
It would be great to see him revert back to his 2022 version where he hit in the .270s but I don’t think we’re getting that this year at least. He really needs to heat up and finish this year strong.
BA does not matter if you have a high OPS and OPS+. Don’t be so dumb
batting average in 2024 lol
@@LockedOnMets it would be awesome to see Pete hit 270 again. Maybe he will if the Mets can beat things up.
Nobody is worth $158mil to play a gme...
That this leaked now may be an indication that things aren't going well between expectations and results. I believe that Alonso made the same mistake as Conforto did in hiring Boras as his agent
I just stumbled on your channel looking for this report... its refreshing to hear/watch a NY Metropolitans fan with a good head on his shoulders about the game! Well broken down brother... couldnt agree more with ya! Instant sub!!!
L🍎F🍎G🍎M
Appreciate the kind words and the sub. Hope you keep tuning in!
The lineup is good enough if they hit but as of game 39, everyone has been inconsistent. They need 2 or 3 guys to get hot at the same time and then get more consistency from Lindor, McNeil, and Baty
I like Pete as a person and I like his effort.....but we all know first baseman don't age well and he's struggling to hit above 200. I want him back.....but good luck if the Cubs want to overpay for him.
That's exactly how I feel. 50/50.
NOOOO, Pete is OUR guy.
@@BrianRMeo he has a very high chance of being like Giancarlo Stanton or Albert Pujols with the angles
@@philipmoreno358 Man I really don't see Pete becoming that, I really don't but I understand the concern.
Please call him pete Moss
I agree Ryan Finkelstein is doing a great job
Seems to me they have enough second tier prospects in this organization. I wouldn't trade pitching for prospects that already seem to be closed off positionally looking for a big league spot...they need top tier prospects and less clutter positionally.
If he did turn that down, they'd best trade him. Even if they have a shot at a Wildcard. This year is about the future. This current team has ZERO chance at winning a title.
And it would be a shame if Alonso held out for a ridiculous contract when he’s probably not worth it anyway. Hopefully the two sides can come to a resolution but I think Stearns will hold his ground on what he considers a fair contract.
Try to get prospects by the deadline and we"ll see what happens in the off season.
I don't see 170 as too much of a stretch. As far as moving him it depends on the return. I would ask for a lot because I still think the best is yet to come with Pete.
He should get a little better than Schwarber money. Lots of HRs, .240 AVG. Maybe $25m per year max.
His value is dropping like a stone off the Empire State bldg. And it aint gonna get better!😂
The mets have to sign him cause Soto won't be available
Big contracts for bad avgs and all swing for the fences
I wouldn't doubt it. He thinks he's worth $200MM+, which he obviously isn't. He's going to be 30 next season and he's already showing signs of slowing down. If his lack of hits and strikeouts keep climbing, he's going to turn into Kyle Schwarber (that's a very bad thing).
If Pete wants to be a lifelong net then he would have to give some back to yeah he was homegrown and this is really if you want to stay then he would make some concession to it works both ways
In hindsight, they should have traded him at the end of 2021 when his value was at its highest. The 2021 Mets were going nowhere and they had only two dependable starters and no quality outfielders. They could have gotten quite a haul for him.
Hey Ryan - I really appreciate your diligence in reporting accurate news, and holding other reporters accountable.
Additionally, I appreciate many of your insights involving roster construction and player performance. HOWEVER (lol), I would like to disabuse you, politely, of the idea of trading Luis Severino if he is performing well up to the trading deadline.
Ryan, you know that Mets tradition is built on pitching. Sevie just nearly tossed a no-hitter in what I like to call "the Wendle debacle"... ("Swing, Carlos" found a little brother - "Throw home, Joey"). But I digress.
To the point - if Luis Severino is pitching effectively mid-season, then David Stearns should offer him a multi-year contract at market value. This is one situation where both sides can agree, "If it works, don't fix it."
Paired with Senga & Scott, Severino could provide the Mets with 3 formidable starters should this team get hot and make the playoffs.
Y'know, as they say in Baseball, "Momentum is only as good as tomorrow's starting pitcher."
The only thing you forget to mention is that he has a significant track record when it comes to injuries.
Yeah he's sitting home with like strawberries to do maybe even better but if he wants to stay of lifetime meant he's going to have to give some too cuz right now he's struggling he's a home run hit up but that also means he strikes out a lot
Alonso is Jay Bruce
And see one thing two comparing him to strawberry strawberry also gave you a great defense he had a can for an arm and he did hit for average too and and had a great defense is not a very he's a decent defender but his defense does not working he's not a gold glove for space
It's true. I think. Well.....maybe
The Mets had to know Alonso would turn down extension with Boras as his agent. Let's move on
I like Pete but I wouldn't overpay him I'm sorry but his gloves still needs some work and he is a strikeout King do the fact that he is a home run hitter when he hits it yeah he gets a lot of RBIs and he's not hitting for average
No we will trade him this year instead
Don't want him over 100 rbi s but all after Mets out of it he is not clutch have fun being a cub
I'm not attached to Pete. Let him walk!
So many maybes and so many if’s
The Alonso story has been so rehashed it’s unbelievable. I’m not commenting on your report but I am is this thing is on TV on CZcams everywhere on X they keep talking about this over and over we don’t know anything whatsoever.
WRONG. we know multiple things. We know his average is like 215. That’s all we need to know.
@@ericB3444 what I meant was, we don’t know anything behind-the-scenes about his negotiations
Remember, we have been led down the wrong path many times by speculation
@@ericB3444 you don’t have to use
All 🧢 I get your point
@@gborch Speculation caused the crash of 1929. Lol
@@CautionHighWavesAhead-I can't tell if you're fooling or not but that's certainly a different application of the term speculation
I think he wants a Judge contract lol
Doesn’t matter one way or the other. He’s a Boras client following the Boras playbook. Fuck em. Let him go elsewhere. If he wanted to be in NY, he would already have signed an extension. Guys who chase $$ are never worth what they sign for and rarely live up to the contract. They get comfortable, fat, and unmotivated. Best to trade Pete at the deadline and wish him luck.
If, if, if....
The mess still continues to be the mess of the NLEast its laughable
This teams offense is pathetic and needs change, trading Alonso and Mcneil is the best way to go at this point😡😡
I'm a Mets fan I would love to see Alonso stay but that doesn't look like it's happening... He has 9 Homeruns and has a low batting average again so the Mets will not give him the contract that he wants.. Lindor is way overpriced as well and he's not hitting like he should....Many moons ago in the early 90s my favorite player basically got kicked out of Shea and treated like garbage by his own fans his name is Bobby Bonilla but he got the last laugh but he hit Homeruns and had a batting average of 270.. Now hes getting 1.2 million a year until 2035 retired also has a championship with the Marlins. It's ridiculous how much money these players want but they can't hit ! A batting average of 220 or 230 is horrible in my opinion. Lindor s contract is 341 million for 10 years do you know what Bobby Bonilla's was in 1992 29 Million for 5 years and he was the highest paid player in the league when the Mets signed him them... Lindor s contract makes Bonilla's look like peanuts and Lindor is batting 220... But he's loved !
He's not loved. Lindor was a waste from the beginning. We were the only ones bidding and he sucks.
He’s good as gone. His words say one thing, his actions scream another. Regardless of play.
This makes no sense. Why would he agree to a deal for 22 million a year before a prove it year. He wants to earn more.
Keep in mind to even strawberry set the he made a mistake not staying with the Mets and also didn't when he left he wasn't doing so good until he came back to New York with the Yankees
I would make Pete an offer he cannot refuse I would give him a 8-year contract for 200 million
Why not 200 years @ $8 million/per?
He hits home runs in droves....7 or 10 a week....then is ice cold for months. In a baseball season, for 4 weeks he's god like, then for 5 months he's useless. This is why the offense is inconsistent. Lindor is the same way. You can't have these guys in the middle of the lineup when there so streaky like this. Sure, they'll finish with fat stats, and Met fans will "oooh and ahhhh".....but they're both not clutch, and it doesn't lead to wins. The only reason this team has as many wins as it does is because of the bench players, not the starting players.
Yeah he's producing a hit more home runs in a young devil strawberry the same time this year look like he's struggling he won't average 40 home runs again 100 plus RBIs so you have to take these things in consideration you really wants to be a man and he had to conceive something too
Good point, I wonder if the Mets are considering his stats when they offer him hundreds of millions of dollars
Nimmo shouldn't get more than Pete.
Adios Pedro 👋
He knows Cohen is rich and will pay more simple.
Cohen doesn't overpay like he did his first 1-2 seasons
@@SplooshNoonley he overpaid 2 million for second base who is really bad.
@@lowkey145 cool
Jose Ramirez is a much better player than Pete & JRam signed for 7YR/141M. That’s a player that want to be with a team. Pete say all the Boras speak but if this “report” is true then Pete is a fraud.
Lonseyball needs league minimum.
Pete's Average is too low and his Asking price is too high. Pass.
ALONSO is worth much more than that. He has been the most prolific power hitter in MLB since he came up. 158 million for seven yrs is just little over 22 million a yr. PRETTY CHEAP!!
he is not worth the $$$ but who cares it's only Steve Cohn's dirty money.
It’s not dirty money just because the stock market is easy. You just go with the front runners and the other ones come on.
Cohen did say he wishes Alonso performed and cost him a lot of money this year. It’s a good thing the Mets are willing to spend, you just hope Alonso can be fair and understand his true worth.
Why you say dirty money what do you know about Steve?
@@ericB3444damn Eric you are completely full of it. That's not how the market works and that's not how Cohen made billions. Stick to what you know: crying about Bader
@@angelroche6993it's a reference to $1.8 billion settlement he paid for illegal insider trading
Pete is baseballs answer to Dak Prescott.
Neither one are HIM.
Ryan, you say that maybe the value if a comp pick would be worth holding Pete. Due to our 2024 payroll, in order to get any pick at all for Pete he would have to sign a deal worth over $30 million AAV or $100 million total, and that would only be a third round pick. Unless he picks it up there is zero chance of that. In order to get a Rd B comp pick he would have to get $40 mil AAV or $150 mil total- think about it, the Mets sweetheart offer of 7\$158m would only barely meet that. No FA position player got more than 3 years this winter, it is a new world. Frankly, 7/$158m was nuts, we are going to have a team of geriatrics in out 5 years. Let him go taste the real world.
