Part 2/7:
According to veteran sports commentator Lee Hacksaw Hamilton, the Los Angeles Angels extended a two-year contract proposal to Pete Alonso that would have paid him $25 million per season. In an attempt to sweeten the deal, the Angels included an opt-out clause after the first year. However, this offer raised several concerns; Alonso’s camp viewed the potential loss of draft picks as a notable downside. Hamilton questioned the logic of such a deal, suggesting it was a risky move for the Angels considering the short-term nature of the agreement and the draft implications tied to Alonso’s past contracts.
