Part 6/8:
Underlying the negativity are concerning reports about Pete Alonso's contract negotiations with the Mets. While WFAN's hosts have previously proclaimed that Alonso doesn’t want to remain with the Mets, recent speculation suggests he may be disheartened about the Mets' treatment. The host quotes WFAN insiders voicing fears about Alonso’s potential departure due to perceived slights in contract offers, which contradicts prior assertions of him wanting out.
The host asserts that the Mets' reported three-year, $90 million deal, while ostensibly fair, could be viewed as disrespectful. This is particularly critical since Alonso is a homegrown talent, and such remarks suggest a lack of appreciation for his contribution to the team.
