| 0:00.0 | Now to baseball, and we did get some significant developments with the Pete Alonzo saga on Thursday, |
| 0:04.8 | as his camp reportedly rejected the Mets reported offer of three years for somewhere between $68 and $70 million, |
| 0:12.3 | including opt-outs. |
| 0:13.4 | Now, the Mets were said to have a willingness to go slightly higher on the total amount without deferrals. |
| 0:19.0 | But I guess Alonzo's camp has decided they weren't interested in |
| 0:21.8 | that they really don't want them seems that way i mean they they have their heart set on a certain |
| 0:28.6 | number and they will not pay him and they will not go over that and it's really it's kind of a little |
| 0:36.3 | bit disheartening for us met fans i mean i'd love to have seen |

| 1:17.0 | t-shirts out there. I don't care if there's bobbleheads that are scheduled. I don't care |
| 1:20.9 | if the old the Alonzo jerseys are going away. I'm here to win, and I don't think that that guy is worth this so see you so I mean that those are the really |
| 1:28.6 | really tough decision to have to make as a general manager and I appreciate it I mean I'm gonna |
| 1:32.9 | I'm gonna miss them and I think that home run I thought that home run I was caught up in the |
| 1:37.0 | emotions of it I thought the one Milwaukee I was like he's definitely got to come back now |
