Posted: Thu Jan 16, 2025 7:41 pm
Is Pete Alonso’s time in Queens truly over? The Mets reportedly walking away after a last-ditch offer raises eyebrows. Is three years, $70 million really a lowball offer for a power hitter like Alonso, especially in this market? Are the Mets making a mistake letting him walk, or is this a smart financial decision? What team becomes the frontrunner now? Could the Blue Jays swoop in and create a monster lineup with both Alonso and Guerrero Jr?
Speaking of Guerrero Jr, the extension talks heating up add another layer of intrigue. Is a deal in Toronto before his self-imposed deadline realistic? Will he prioritize winning, money, or both? How much pressure does this put on the Blue Jays front office to build a contender?
And what about the Padres adding Maldonado? Is this purely a defensive move to mentor Campusano? Or are they signaling a lack of faith in their young catcher?
Lots of moving pieces and unanswered questions. Let’s hear your thoughts. What are your bold predictions for these situations?
