Pete Alonso wants a lot of money, Scott Boras wants Pete Alonso to get a lot of money, Steve Cohen HAS a lot of money, but no one else has come to the table to offer Pete Alonso anything besides the Mets.

While Pete Alonso may return for the 2025 season, the feel is he may not be here much longer than that.

Pete Alonso and Scott Boras floated out a new proposal for a contract with the Mets. But do the Mets really even want Pete, are they playing the game to drive down the price? Pete says signing Pete will be a positive but there is more to the story.

Evan discusses the latest rumors surrounding Pete Alonso's contract, Roki Sasaki update, Alex Verdugo rumblings and the Mets focus on high priced bullpen arms.
