Part 3/7:
The conversation pivots to Pete Alonso, with Bartels considering the implications of a potential trade or signing of Bregman for Alonso’s future in the organization. They weigh the options of placing Vientos in a new role should Bregman join the team, alongside the prospect of Alonso transitioning to a designated hitter role in the coming years.
Their discussion reveals a complex web of possibilities, hinting that while Bregman could strengthen the infield, it would not necessarily eliminate Alonso from the Mets' future plans. Bo and Bartels agree that Alonso remains integral to the lineup, given the current state of the market and the need for a solid, homegrown player.
