I am so tired of the Pete Alonso saga. Will he continue to be a New York Met or will he be an ex-Met? And why has it gotten to this point? It’s February already.
Scott Boras is not ALL that is bad with Major League Baseball…but he has had a pretty big hand in the ruination of the National Pastime. And this debacle has his fingerprints all over it.
Just when you thought it was too good to be true...you find out it IS too good to be true. The Mets are finally playing meaningful games in September with an eye on October baseball for the first time in almost a decade. Even with the infusion of the exciting Yoenis Cespedes and key veterans Juan Uribe, Kelly Johnson, and Tyler Clippard...all of whom have made major contributions since their respective arrivals...there are still major concerns with the team. Lucas Duda is still on the DL, Daniel Murphy and Michael Cuddyer are now sidelined with injuries, and...oh...yeah...the middle innings relief situation is providing many with a reason to head to their physicians for a prescription for Xanax.
