@MetCastPod First, he has done a great job motivating his team in a season that started off as a disaster. Second, one less thing the front office needs to worry about and can focus on improving the team instead.
@firesidemets@NYPost_Mets Yes leaning on the core is the best way to go and just use free agents to plug holes. They really only need a starter, bullpen and a first baseman and they should be competitive.
@MetCastPod Vientos can only DH and with a sub 700 ops, that is not going to cut it. The Mets need to fill that hole in the off season. I am not high on Young either, but I wish him the best after that nasty collision.
@Ben_Yoel One at bat is not how I would look at it but if you compare him to the rest of MLB overall he is a top 10 catcher in MLB. He needs and will improve so I would not be so quick to trade him.
@Buster_ESPN They really need to stop that practice. It is annoying and I really don’t care what his favorite pizza or video game is. Leave it for after the game.
@PSLToFlushing I think at this point, it is irrelevant. Pete Alonso is gone and he is not coming back. Let’s move forward and not cry about the past like Yankee fans about losing Juan Soto.
@PSLToFlushing@Marshall17189@KFCBarstool I agree, give him a nice ovation at his first at bat and show a video before the game, but as soon as the pitcher releases his first pitch to him, he is the enemy. I was rooting for him to go 0 for series. I am life long Met fan and would never root for an opposing player.
@MetCastPod I am just saying use the end of the year to give him a shot and the make a decision. I agree, right now I am not convinced he should be in the rotation next year. He needs to prove us wrong in these last few starts.
@SteveGelbs I agree, it pissed me off. Give him an ovation at his first at bat, a video and after that, he is the enemy. It would be great if he was still on the team, but he is not. I hope this is not going to be like the Yankee fans whining about Juan Soto. Let’s move forward!!
@AnthonyDiComo Why were Met fans cheering? He is not a Met anymore. I don’t care that the Mets are out of it, you don’t cheer opposing players. Give him a nice ovation and a video in his first AB, then he is the enemy just like anyone else.
@Punchoutpitch@Feinsand Mets should get him cheap, rehab him and then haunt the Braves like Wheeler did to the Mets. Worse case, he never gets back but if the Mets get him on the cheap, no big deal.
