10 Mins Ago! Mets Have Found their Next BLOCKBUSTER Trade... Mets News

If you're still telling yourself that losing Pete Alonso was some genius move by David Stearns, this video is going to completely shatter that illusion. We need to have a brutally honest conversation about whether Pete was actually worth $155 million—and whether the Mets just made a catastrophic mistake letting him walk to Baltimore. Pete Alonso signed with the Orioles for 7 years, $155 million. The Mets, with Steve Cohen's unlimited resources, didn't even make a competitive offer. And now we're supposed to believe that replacing 37 home runs and 100+ RBIs with Jorge Polanco (8 HR last year) is somehow good roster management? *Let me be very clear about something:* This isn't about whether first basemen are "replaceable" or whether power hitters decline in their 30s. This is about the New York Mets—a big market team with a billionaire owner—refusing to pay market value for a homegrown star who's been the face of the franchise for six years. *Here's what we're breaking down:* • The "legitimate concerns" about Pete's contract (age, position, decline patterns) • Why those concerns are completely irrelevant for a team with Steve Cohen's money • The offensive production black hole the Mets just created in their lineup • What Pete meant beyond the numbers: homegrown star, franchise face, fan favorite • The market context: $155M is REASONABLE for proven 37 HR production in today's game • Why David Stearns' Milwaukee small-market mentality is destroying the Mets • How Baltimore just got elite power hitting at market value while we got Jorge Polanco • The ripple effects: no lineup protection for Lindor, no intimidation factor, no clutch power • Why "analytics" don't matter when your team can't score runs and fans are watching Pete mash in Baltimore • The organizational arrogance of thinking you're smarter than the market *The case FOR paying Pete:* He averaged 37 HR over six years. That's ELITE power that changes your entire lineup approach. Pitchers can't challenge him. Everyone hitting around him benefits. He's a proven commodity entering his prime years. He's marketable, beloved by fans, and represents homegrown success. And most importantly—**Steve Cohen could pay him twice that amount and not even notice.** *The case AGAINST:* First basemen are easier to replace. Power hitters decline in their 30s. Long-term deals carry risk. You need roster flexibility. Those arguments work for Milwaukee. *They're irrelevant for the New York Mets.* *The brutal reality:* The Mets didn't let Pete walk because they couldn't afford him. They let him walk because David Stearns—with his small-market Milwaukee mentality—decided he was too smart to pay market rate. He thought he could outsmart the system with cheaper alternatives. Meanwhile, successful organizations like the Dodgers and Yankees understand that sometimes the smart move IS the obvious move: you pay proven elite production. *What happens now:* The Mets go into 2026 with a massive lineup hole. No middle-of-the-order power. No protection for Lindor. No player who scares opposing pitchers. Just Jorge Polanco's 8 home runs and whatever bargain bin signings Stearns thinks will magically replace 37 bombs. And while the Mets struggle to score 4 runs per game, we're going to watch Pete Alonso succeed in Baltimore. We're going to see him hit 35+ home runs in an Orioles uniform. And David Stearns will keep telling everyone this was the right decision "based on the analytics." *But here's the truth:* Fans don't care about analytics when the team is losing. They don't care about long-term projections when they're watching their former star thrive elsewhere. They don't care about roster flexibility when the offense can't score. They care about WINNING. And letting Pete Alonso walk makes the Mets objectively worse at winning. #Mets #PeteAlonso #NewYorkMets #LGM #MetsBaseball #MLBOffseason #MetsNation #DavidStearns #Orioles #MLBFreeAgency #Baseball #MetsNews #PolarBear #FirstBase #MLBTrade #BaseballAnalysis #SteveCohen #MetsTwitter #MLBRumors #BaseballOpinion #MetsOffseason #LetsGoMets #MetsRoster #NYMets #BaseballDebate #MLBAnalysis #FranciscoLindor #CitiField #MetsUpdate #NLEast
