00:00I mean, you have talked about this Pete Alonso stuff for the last few weeks.

00:04He is still unsigned as we get closer to spring training.

00:07And reports are now saying that the Mets expect him to sign somewhere else.

00:11And that's probably because and who knows if these offers are real.

00:14It could be the Boris team putting it out there.

00:16Allegedly, the Mets offered him like three years, 70 million dollars

00:19or something like that, like a real low ball offer.

00:23But I think we've reached the part of the negotiations

00:26where everyone's trying to make each other look bad.

00:28But here's what I would say to you.

00:30I don't think this guy, Stearns, who runs the Mets.

00:33I don't think he ever intended on bringing Alonso back.

00:36I don't think he ever had him in his plans.

00:37And it's just playing out that way. I don't either.

00:40I mean, I actually believed more so that he'd go to the Yankees

00:45a couple of months ago than ever back to the Mets.

00:49They gave all their money to Juan Soto and nobody else is getting Jack.

00:55These deals for these bums they signed today are laughable.

00:59The Winker deal, the Winkman, nobody's ever heard of.

01:03AJ Menter, who the F is that?

01:07Well, yes, they do bring the Winkman back one year, eight million dollars.

01:11AJ Menter, two years, 22.

01:13He's been with the Braves the last couple of years.

01:15So they take a piece out of Atlanta's pen, whatever.

01:18But yes, still no Pete Alonso.

01:21Now, I did see this story today.

01:23It might have been Bob

01:24Nightingale brought this up or maybe not, that the Blue Jays

01:28would sign Alonso, play him at first, move Vlad back to third.

01:33And that way, if Vlad leaves after next year,

01:37they they'll have Alonso to play at first base.

01:39So there's some talk that maybe the Blue Jays

01:42are going to get involved with Pete Alonso now.

01:44So we shall see how that goes.
