What is your reporting on, on, on the, the crux of why Pete Alonso either wasn't offered a contract publicly or really feels like he was desired by the Mets? Didn't feel like that.

Yeah, I, I think they were ready to move on, and I th- I think that that was, that that was beginning to be apparent even before he re-signed with them in the previous winter, to be quite honest, where they sort of got together on that two-year deal and, uh, you know, with, with the opt out and, and he, you know, Pete sort of proved himself once again to a new regime.

And I get it that, that, you know, the Mets have had a lot of turnover in the front office over the past, you know, however long it is, and David Stearns was coming in.

Um, you know, this doesn't profile as a David Stearns type player, but there was like a, a sort of a mutual, a need for the Mets when he re-signed and, uh, you know, a want from Pete to have another chance to take a swing at a big platform year, which he had not had as he was going into his first, uh, chomp at free agency.

So, you know, I don't think that he was ever gonna be a Met aft- uh, you know, last off season.

I, I don't think that was ever realistic, um, uh, unless they had waited out the market and, and no one else went there.

And look, there's a lot of group thinking in baseball in the front offices nowadays where, you know, guys like, guys get put into a category and, you know, 20 of the 30 teams will never touch that kind of player.

You think Andy Green, um, should be in the mix for this job?

fifth day.

Okay, McCarron, we got one more.

Well, we're going to where you were just sort of hinting at there, F.

And this is – I know it's low-hanging fruit, but I'm giving Kodai Senga an F.

But I will add this.

I'm giving him an F with an asterisk, and I'll explain that in a moment.

First, let's just acknowledge what a terrible year this guy has had.

can, you know what Anthony combined it to give me the A's for Schlittler and Rice,

They're awful.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Awful.

They have gone, uh, I, I mean, they have just plummeted into a deep gorge of inefficient at bats and, uh, just they don't have any power.

They haven't hit home runs.

They've been chasing.

They're awful.
