Part 6/7:
The in-person meeting accomplished multiple objectives, including dispelling doubts about Alonzo's role on the Mets and ensuring he remained excited about his future with the team. Alonzo expressed his love for New York, affirming his commitment to the organization, while Cohen and Sterns made it clear that they wanted him to be a fundamental part of the team moving forward.
Moving into the season, attention now turns toward additional roster improvements, including a search for frontline pitching options. Cohen and Sterns appear committed to a win-now mentality and must leverage both existing talent and possible trades to bolster the team's overall competitive edge.
