Part 4/10:
The potential value Alonso provides, with consistent power production and daily availability.
Concerns about his age, future performance, and the declining value of long-term contracts for players approaching their early 30s.
Proponents argue that Alonso's impact and durability make him a valuable asset, especially considering his proven ability to produce at the plate. Critics, however, question whether the Mets see him as a core piece or whether they believe they can build a better team without him, perhaps by acquiring other players or through internal development.
