One of the most notable free agents has signed with the New York Mets just days before Spring Training. Late Wednesday night, the Mets and Pete Alonso reached a deal to bring the Polar Bear back for another season in Flushing.
Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman discuss why Alonso’s return to the Mets was inevitable, the lack of interest in the first-base market for Pete, and how the Mets’ lineup has improved with his presence.
In this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, the hosts also talk about Spring Training position battles, such as the third base situation for the New York Yankees and the crowded pitching rotation of the Los Angeles Dodgers. They also highlight some key players returning in 2025 and make their picks for The Good, The Bad & The Uggla.
