Part 5/7:
As the Mets aim for a competitive 2025 season, the need to retain talented players like Alonzo seems paramount. With stars like Juan Soto and Francisco Lindor already in place, many fans, including CP, are eager to see the team invest in their current roster rather than wait for future seasons.
