Hey, what a crossroads in New York sports. The Yankees preparing for game one of the American

League wild card series at the stadium against the Red Sox tomorrow night. The Jets in a few

hours trying to save their season down in Miami against the Dolphins. The New York Giants,

the air is different at MetLife Stadium. They won their first game. Jackson Dart made his

debut. All of a sudden,

Brian Dable's hot seat is not as hot. And then you've got the New York Mets who completed the epic

collapse by losing yesterday to the Miami Marlins and David Stearns is kind of meeting the media

today, meeting the fans trying to explain what went wrong. If you missed any of it, you could

rewind on the Odyssey app as he gave his answers of run prevention and pitching issues that need to be addressed. But one of the things Met fans really want to hear about is Pete Alonzo. Pete's a free agent. Pete was very quick to say yesterday, I'm opting out. And we all know Pete wants to get paid. He was asked, just to be fair. That's right.

And Pete is going to be honest with you as much as he can. No doubt. He almost inadvertently leaked the birth date of his baby. That's his child. He was like, it's a, wait, well, it's going to happen to be a little complicated. Wait, what am I saying? Oh, damn it. He's going to be born in the playoffs. He didn't quite say that.

You can easily infer it.

Yeah, he's going to be born in the playoffs. He's, well, he didn't quite say that. You can easily infer it. Yeah, he's just very honest. And David Stearns, we have summised, doesn't really want Pete Alonzo back. That has been a summation, fair or not. It's been a route there about David. So let's analyze his answer when David Stearns today at his big season was a debacle press conference,

what does he say when asked about Pete Alonzo?

What is your interest in bringing back Pete Alonzo?

And does that kind of complicate it a little bit?

Yeah, like, Pete is a great met.

He had a fantastic year.

I said this last year, and it worked out.

I'd love to have Pete back and we'll see where

the offseason goes. Do you see him as a first basement? Or would he be a DH option for you?

Look, I think how the exact roster construction hypothetically fills out, like we'll deal with that

as we get into the into the offseason
