Part 6/8:
Another major topic covered is the Mets' signing of Alan Peña, who has now become their highest-paid international free agent at $5 million. As a 17-year-old who has never played at a professional level, there’s limited information on Peña, but scouts rate him highly with a 65 hit grade, putting him in a distinguished cohort that includes players like Wander Franco and Vlad Guerrero Jr. However, as the hosts caution, the international signing pool is fraught with uncertainty, urging fans to temper their expectations as Peña transitions from prospect to professional.
