At least they found another arm on the team. Danny Mendick could be their 5th starter for the rest of the year

Tonight is starting out the same. Mets are lost. Hopefully they’ll be competitive next year but I’d be very happy with 2-3 years.

Alonso a cancer?
Anonymous sources saying his teammates don’t like him? (Honestly, I can see that.) My question: who on the team matters more than him? Lindor? Nimmo? McNeil? Other than that, no one on the team has an option that matters

Which sources say Alonso is unliked by his teammates? Isn't he best friends with McNeil? Nimmo and Lindor may be more valuable from a WAR perspective, (Lindor has 4.3 this year, Nimmo and Alonso tied at 2.6) but no one is more popular with the fans than the Polar Bear.

I don't think Sal said Alonso was unpopular in the clubhouse, but he did say that the clubhouse culture is rotten and that Alonso is part of it.
This is the same guy that on Thursday 8/10 said “There’s no way they can trade Alonso. Maybe the reason they had him on the [trading] block was to see what type of young pitching they could get back for him, but even then, they’d be idiots to trade Alonso. The guy has consistent power, which is something that’s impossible to find. Look across the sport, nobody in Mets’ history has had four straight seasons with 35 or more home runs. Nobody has had more home runs since Pete Alonso has come into the league in 2019 than him. I mean, I’m not saying he’s gonna be the first baseman long-term and I’m not saying you got to pay him whatever he wants. If I’m Alonso, I’m close enough to where I’m playing this out in free agency and maybe it goes the way that it did with Brandon Nimmo. The Mets should let him go to free agency too, all right. See what you do with free agency, go out there, test the market, come back to us and if it’s the right price, we’ll do it. It’s got to be something around $200 million, similar to what [Atlanta Braves first baseman] Matt Olson got. But Pete Alonso has to be a lifelong Met. I don’t understand how if they lose him, trade, free agency, how you could ever replace that.” |

Lindor is valuable (but playing below his contract) but each also has a different role with the team. Lastly no one considers Nimmo, Lindor, or McNeil the face of the franchise Everyone considers the Polar Bear

Everything I have read from reporters with real knowledge of the clubhouse say Licata's report is 100% BS.
