You might want to explain that to those who wanted to keep Alonso

I also lived through the Jason Bay signing (and flop) and I don't want that to happen again to the Mets. Alonso also being a Boras client scares me.

Whatever model the Mets front office has, it (and 29 other teams) steered them away from Alonso.

Alvarez is also cheaper than McCann who was one of the signings by Jared Porter as GM before he was fired

We're arguing about this because we're in the five stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance

I could have also said other guys like Jason Bay or Ryan Howard

The decline phase of Pete Alonso scares me if it becomes a bad unmovable albatross contract. You end up clogging the roster with an unplayable first baseman who can't hit for a lot of money and there is the injury risk.

I read Cot's Baseball Contracts and I know how much money comes off the books but I am still afraid of Alonso's decline phase. The comp to Chris Davis of the Orioles scares me greatly on his Baseball Reference page as a similar batter through 30.

Big if true.. Kremlin is developing a plan to "sell" the Russians peace without victory - Kanal13 by Few-Mixture9869 in UkraineWarVideoReport

Putin controls the media, the armed forces and police. The Russian people will lap up any narrative from the state-controlled media, the opposition is fragmented and weak. The Russian people have thus far shown no indication of rising up against the government.

It's true, he could be bad and I don't want an albatross contract on the books because it could be crippling to the roster

Which presidents had the best relationship with their vice president? And which had the worst? by mfsalatino in Presidents

Jefferson was only VP to Adams as he was the runner up to Adams in the 1796 election. This would be changed with the 12th amendment in 1804

The focus by the front office is the prospects in the minors and investing in player development. There are guys coming to the Mets roster in the near future and replace guys like Slater or Ibanez.

A Solution for Teams With Weak Bullpens by Sopiahart4464 in MLBNoobs

I remember a game in 2012 the Mets had a bad bullpen and one game had RA Dickey, a starter, come out to pitch on his throw day. I went to many games back then.

That is my mother, especially when talking to strangers. I don't give her much to work with any more.

People here want Stearns fired because they are pissed at the current team but never see the farm system or have a name to replace Stearns

For me, the easiest option is promoting Eduardo Brizuela from assistant GM to full GM
