It's the Boomer and Geo podcast from WFAN.

Hi, Boomer and Geo, coming to you live.

The Build 4 Tough Studio on the fan end, CBS Sports Network.

Pete Alonzo selling himself down at the winter meetings.

I love how the headline, though, is Pete Alonzo to meet with other teams, but not the Mets.

And then David Sterns actually laughed it off a little bit. He's like, well, I think we know each other pretty well. He's going to go out there and talk to these other teams. He's going to be trying to get a deal that is a long-term deal and then bring it back to the Mets potentially to match, which I know you hate, but I'm sure that that's what David Stearns has told Scott Boris,

and that's probably what they're going to do if he wants to remain a med is, hey,

the Baltimore Orioles are going to sign me for five years, X amount of dollars, what do you think?

And then if David Stern thinks it's too long, he's going to say it's too long.

But, you know, he is sticking by a lot of his principles, despite the fact

that they were terrible last year. And the starting rotation was awful last year. I don't think

they're going to go out and overspend now on a starting pitcher because of what happened last year

in the rotation. What I think they're going to do is stick by the same things,

which is I'd rather give three years to a guy that's got higher risk

than five years to a guy who's got lower risk,

as if the lower risk guy blows up,

then I'm on the hook for five, six, seven, eight years.

He would never give the Max-Free deal out that the Yankees did when they were up against it last off-season after losing on soda. You know, what's amazing to me is that you have, Aaron Judge was kind of in the same situation a little bit with the Yankees when he was shopping himself. Yeah. And all of a sudden, San Diego was one of those teams that came up with that extra year, I believe.

Yeah, and San Francisco too.

And San Francisco.

And obviously, Aaron being from out there, I mean, I wonder if he ever, I don't think he regrets that contract that he signed.

He was just a couple of years off from truly, truly doubling his salary.
