Part 3/6:
While the optimism of Alonso's return is palpable, there is an undercurrent of disappointment that permeates this potential reunion. Alonso’s demands—likely centered around salary and contract length—do not currently align with market expectations. The reality is that both Alonso and the Mets may face a bittersweet scenario; bringing him back could feel more like a compromise than a homecoming. The hope is that if a re-signing occurs, it is celebrated rather than seen as a last resort.
