The New York Mets have multiple players who call Scott Boras their agent. But according to one New York radio host, there is one to blame for Pete Alonso’s free agency stalemate.
A new report reveals the New York Mets are in competition with the Toronto Blue Jays for not one but two big names still in free agency.
The New York Mets are on the rise after a stellar 2024 campaign, bolstered by the addition of Juan Soto to a historic 16-year, $765 million contract. Here’s a b
New York Yankees icon and current YES Network analyst David Cone made it known last spring that he had no problem with the fact that then-Yankees outfielder Juan Soto wanted to reach free agency following the 2024 season. Of course, Soto ultimately left the Yankees to sign a massive deal with the New York Mets.
New reports reveals a threat to the New York Mets hopes of re-sign Pete Alonso may soon drop out, but a dark horse may have emerged.
The Mets thought about Kenley Jansen in free agency but decided against it to give Edwin Diaz the closer role with no competition.
The New York Mets and right-handed reliever Ryne Stanek have agreed to a one-year deal, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press on Wednesday. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the deal was subject to a successful physical and hadn’t been announced.
One of the key decisions facing the Mets is whether to re-sign first baseman Pete Alonso. Negotiations have been ongoing, with reports suggesting that the team is taking a firm stance. They are offering a take-it-or-leave-it deal. Alonso’s market is weaker than expected. This allows the Mets to secure him on terms they prefer.
The Mets on Wednesday re-signed reliever Ryne Stanek, according to multiple reports. New York acquired Stanek last season in a pre-deadline trade with the Seattle Mariners. However, before retaining Stanek, the Mets reportedly considered adding star reliever Kenley Jansen, who spent the last two seasons with the Boston Red Sox.
It is conceivable that Baty and Acuña alone could replace Alonso's home runs, which is to say nothing of what they stand to gain from their new center fielder. That is Jose Siri, who hit as many homers on his own last season (18) as the Mets got from all their center fielders.
Most MLB teams are hesitant to give up a pick to sign Nick Pivetta, which is why he could return to the Red Sox or go to an aggressive contender like the Mets.
