wonder if he fired Boris yet as guy really screwed up dealings with Mets
Mets Hot Stove talk--2024-25
- Thread starter BrooklynRed
- Start date
Only problem is it’s a player option. I also don’t think Mets are going 7 or 8 years for Vlad. That seems to be where it’s heading. But we can dream… Pete at DH in 2026!

One season at a time fellas 
Essentially a 1 year deal for 30 mill. We will be in a much better spot next year knowing where Baty and Mauricio stand, getting a clearer picture on Clifford, and with Vlad Jr. scheduled to hit the market.
Stearns put on a master class. Get another top 3 starter and LFGM!
Huge news for Vientos.

I like Vientos at 2 with Soto at 3.
Switch - Right - Left - Right (Alonso) - Left (Nimmo)
Protect the kid!
so basically his shooting % with met's is like St Johns FT %
Or the Mets got off cheap, brought him back for $100M less than the offer they made that he and Boros turned down.
Yeah, but knowing you left an easy $100M on the table because you got too greedy has to be a kick in the nads....
He may still be able to get more money at the end of his career, just won’t be with the Mets.
His 7-158 extension offer included buying out his last year of arbitration. And last year he made 20 mill.
This deal, he’s making 30 in the first year before opting out.
So to beat those numbers over the rest of his career, it’s 5 years, 108 mill. I definitely think he will find a team next year, especially with no QO attached to him, to offer more than 21 mill per year.
Great deal for both sides
It’s a solid lineup especially if Alvarez can improve. I hope McNeil is moving to the bench for a younger kid. The outfield is aging and a concern.
Boras wasn’t his agent then.
Great deal for the Mets. Not so much Alonso. The offer of 3/75 would have made him a top 5 paid first baseman.
He will be 31 and I think he would be fortunate to get that same offer again next year. I do not think he gets 5+ years again. Not to mention Alonso will probably have to wait until Vlad Jr.‘s contract is resolved before anything moves in his end.
Happy he is back of course. But I feel the Mets make a big run at Vlad Jr. as a FA.
If only we coud get that top 3 starter.
Did not know that
I think Pete will have to opt out or take the option BEFORE free agency begins. I am not sure about that. Maybe somebody knows for sure?
I don’t see them making a run at Vlad. They already have long term commitments now to Lindor/Soto. Vlad at 26/27 is going to get 7-8 years and up. Seeing Stearns operate I don’t see it. Soto was a special case. All about building a brand. Vlad with his body type is a huge risk. Soto already will end up a DH.
