As we brace ourselves for yet another round of winter weather, the excitement for baseball season is palpable, especially with Pete Alonso's recent two-year, $54 million contract with the Mets. This brings up some interesting points for discussion.

First off, how do you think Alonso's contract will impact the Mets' overall strategy moving forward? With such a significant investment in one player, do you believe they will prioritize building around him, or will they still look to make other big moves in the offseason?

Additionally, as we gear up for Spring Training, what are your predictions for the upcoming season? Which teams do you think will surprise us, and which players are poised for breakout seasons?

And let's not forget about the weather! With the Polar Vortex making its presence felt, how do you think the cold and snow affect players' preparations for the season? Do you think it gives an advantage to teams in warmer climates, or can northern teams still compete effectively?

Share your thoughts, bold predictions, and any experiences you've had with Spring Training or the winter blues as we await the return of America's pastime!
