Peter Alonso is not the problem(be nice to have higher average) and I hope they do not trade him like I am reading in the news.

Nice to have Mauricio in the lineup, and getting a double in his first at bat!
Alvarez, Baty, Mauricio at 7-8-9. Good to see the Rookies getting some playing time.

I totally agree considering the season it is good to see the Rookies.

Should have started it a lot sooner but still good to see.

Also good that they started the shakeup in the front office

I finally got to see the Mets win (I was 0-3 in my first 3 Mets games) on Sunday with the Ortega walkoff!

I was at the game before as well, and I will say that Vogelbach is my favorite Met right now. That swing is amazing, 2/3 of a swing at best and he hits BOMBS!

LET'S GO METS!

Good luck with David Stearns with the Mets. He did a good job with the Brewers. Wonder if he’ll woo Craig Counsell away to manage.

that would be a smart move if they can do it.

Just hope he signs Alonso long term

Jeff, do you have any concerns about how Alonso will age across a longer-term deal? I'm a big fan of the polar bear but his player type/skillset tends to age very poorly after age 30.

My 2 cents: Sign Pete to a 5 year deal - max. If his agent wants 7 or more, I think you need to let him walk.

Then again, what does the money mean to the owner anyway. . . . . .

I think all players that sign long term contracts do not age well if they sign contracts 28 years old plus. On the flip side now having the DH in the National League at least helps they can put him their to rest him and long term he can play their and helps keep the mileage off the body
But the market is what it is and these players will get long term top dollar contracts.
He is a career .253 average(this year trainwreck) but as discussed previously he is consistently hitting for power and has put up monster numbers in that time.
IF they want to keep him it will probably be a 7 year contract(I hope only 5) and if they do not pay him someone will those years
