The 2023 NY Mets. Bout to be the `24 Japanese All-star team

[Trust Me]

Give him 7 for 170 and call it a day.

Here's a direct quote from my buddy in our group text. Him and his boss are season ticket owners, and apparently his boss knows someone plugged in.

"He wants baseball $$, not first baseman $. He sees them paying everybody, and he wants to get paid like them, I think they (the Mets) fold"

Pete's gonna get 200. It is what it is. I just hope the player development bears fruit soon. I feel like they've shown enough with some of the under the radar pitchers they've drafted (Scott/Stuart/Vasil/Hamel, Tidwell wasnt really under the radar but hes gotten better) for me to feel good about that moving forward.

I wouldn't pay Pete Alonso more than Freddie Freeman and Matt Olson, but that's just me.

I don't get the feeling that 200's the number

I agree, I love Pete, but he's not better than them and his game won't age gracefully.

He’s going to get first baseman money.

Joey Votto is the only first baseman to have a $200 million contract and it was signed years ago. They're not making that money now a day. Freeman and Olson are the top paid players at 1B and Alonso isn't better than either.

Freeman's making damn near 30M a year. Olson's at 21 I believe. Pete's gonna be a lot closer to Freddie, than he is to Olson. The only way I see Pete making 'first baseman money' as opposed to 'NY Mets money' is if he's on another club.

I hear ya breh. I'm just saying I wouldn't pay him more than what Freeman and Olson are getting. Just look at 1st base deals in general. It'll be interesting to see what happens with Pete.

Yea but 40+ HR guys don't grow on trees...

According to baseball reference, an average Alonso season is 46 home runs (would be over 50 if it wasn't for covid), 118 RBI, a 118 ops+ and a .255/.344/.533 line.

He's not getting Ohtani money, but a 200 million contract isn't crazy talk. He's 28 right now. I wouldn't be shocked to see a 8 to 9 year deal between 25 to 30 a year, based off production and the fact that's he's a home grown fan favorite.

As much fun as it is to watch Pete now, it would have been nicer if this happened in June.

yeah but analytics hates Pete. They think he's Chris Davis with bling on

It's crazy to me that Granderson really one of the few players that is loved by fans of both NY teams.
