Part 2/7:
Recent rumors suggest the Mets have maintained an interest in Alex Bregman, but questions remain about how viable Bregman will be as the offseason progresses. Alonso's contract situation has also become a hot topic of discussion, with many fans feeling he deserves better treatment as a homegrown talent.
The Debate Around Alonso's Contract
The divide among Mets fans regarding Alonso’s contract is prominent. Should the Mets secure a long-term agreement for Alonso purely based on sentiment, or should they assess the player’s on-field value objectively? Historical precedents show that the Mets have not always rewarded their homegrown players, such as Noah Syndergaard and Michael Conforto, who saw their contracts ebb before moving on.
