Part 2/12:
Wardy congratulates Peter Alonso and Juan Soto for clinching Silver Slugger awards—the sixth consecutive for Soto and Alonso’s first at the first baseman position in the National League. Alonso’s value to the team was emphasized, boasting 38 home runs and nearly 130 RBIs. The potential for Alonso to leave via free agency remains a concern, especially given his status as a Scott Boris client and the ongoing negotiations. If Alonso departs, the Mets will need to rebuild their offense accordingly, making offseason decisions even more critical.
