Did you read any of the John Heyman story about Alonzo and Stearns? No, I did not, because it was behind a paywall. I know. And it's so funny because I actually, no joke, I went to sign up for it today. Really? But for whatever reason on our computers here would not allow me saying I didn't have a private enough connection or something. What, to pay for the New York Post? I'm just telling you what happened when I tried to sign up for God. Can't even believe it. But a lot of people did comment on it, and I don't feel comfortable enough talking about it, because I didn't have to read the article myself, but you talk about the 2026 Mets, and here we are. They have one four out of six and this is West. You know what the gist of it is?

Yeah, it was about the meeting that they had before the 2025 season.

Oh, that one with Steve Colin that was there?

Yes.

And him talking about your bleeping, what was the number of the bleeping analytics or

I forget what the phrase was but it was basically just

Alonzo face to face with Stearns, you know, saying, you know, when I'm thought of as a potential

Hall of Fame or I'm paraphrasing, you're still going to be, you know, thinking about your bleeping

analytics or something like that.

But I couldn't read the rest of the article, so I'm not really comfortable talking about it or

discussing it more at length.

Alonzo wasn't loving how negotiations were going, but he was on his home turf at his Tampa

club meeting with owner Steve Cullen and President David Stearns and he didn't hold back.

Heyman wrote, when my career is being evaluated for the Hall of Fame years from now,

you'll still be fiddling with your effing formulas. That's it. Alonzo said to Sterns. That's music to all our listeners ears, right? No, for sure. Absolutely. I can't look back and be disgruntled, Alonzo said in an article, the New York Post. I have some of the best memories wearing that uniform being in the locker room with those guys. I have friends for life. And people have really made a positive impact on my life. It's time to go. It's fine. All right. Yeah. I mean, that right there is exactly what Mets fans, most Mets fans, the Paul and Yonkers crew, want to hear from Pete Alonzo.

Yeah, I mean, people are talking about the power and this and that and the Hall of Fame and one of the great Mets of all time.

And you're sitting there with your stupid calculations about how I'm a terrible first base been and all of these other things.

Right. And remember, it wasn't him that resigned him. It was Steve Cohen because of the pressure at that caravan that they had that said, all right, sign them. Yeah. You know, and that was that. But so be, I just thought it was interesting that that was out there. You talk about the 2026 Mets and, you know, they still have, you know, five months to go in the Syria season or four months to go, whatever it is in the season, it's not like their stories written yet, but so
