Good morning.
Yeah I know... I wasn't going to write any longer on the Pete Alonso, Scott Boras, Steve Cohen, David Stearns do-si-do that still is going on.
First of all, I have no idea what is really going on here. All I can write about is my spin and a ton of speculation. I have never met any of the four parties involved here, but I have had a extended X relationship with Steve.
We have never discussed this matter and I would never ask him what was going on here, but I have developed a sense on what makes him tick. It is my guess that he shares one (and maybe only one) thing with our President... a desire for loyalty from those around him. I have watched how he publically reacted to that asshole that used to pitch for the Dodgers and now lives in Japan. The dude reneged on a handshake and Steve went public with his disdain. He then went batzo when Steven Matz went elsewhere. Loyalty and keeping one’s word seems high on Cohen's list.
We all know he and Pete had a close relationship. Almost father-like. How do you think he feels when his "son" continues to not sign, call, text, or even send up smoke to the team that scouted him, drafted him, trained him, and believed in him for his entire career?
Listen, I've seen a lot of teams trade their superstars, as well as watching other superstars walk away from their original team. Forget Tom Seaver. If Babe Ruth could be traded, anyone could.
Do I think he will come back?
Maybe if the best offer out there is the current one from the Mets.
Is there still a current offer on the table from the Mets? Reports this week say the Mets and the Pete camp are back on the phone.
Good question.
Has Steve Cohen had enough of all this?
Well, if he hasn't, I think it is coming to an end soon.
But what is totally obvious to me is Boras has failed this off-season, just like he did the season before.
Baseball teams have almost had enough of this blowfart and it's only a matter of time players will catch on too.

Seems other agents have contacted Alonso, but he isn’t leaving Boras. A complete moron in the NYPost wrote how it’s Brandon Nimmo’s fault that Alonso isn’t signed. See, Nimmo switched to Boras and Boras got Nimmo 8/$168, so Nimmo convinced Alonso to dump his guy and go to Boras. All along, Alonso also rejected the 7/$158 offer the Mets gave him. Then, switching to Boras, the offer never came back.
How much of this is true and how much is BS made up, I don’t know. But, I do know that Alonso is a good player and would make the Mets better. I understand that he wants to see more love, but take the love offered now, and all things being equal, there will be more later.
I never understood or liked the Nimmo deal, because I knew the CF hype was going to be short lived. But, I am happy for the guy that has represented the Mets well and been a good leader. Something I never heard said about Alonso.
If I was a betting man, I still think he will be wearing a Mets uniform on opening day
Pete signed with him. Bor-ass. The good news for Pete is his taxes will also be lower than they otherwise would have been. You pay less when you make less.
Nimmo’s contracts will be ugly if he doesn’t solve his PF problem. Question…
What isa worse injury? Spinal leak, or plantar fasciitis ? The Met do not applaud diversity when it comes to injury. They prefer abstinence.
I've said this before
I don't think Nimmo will be ready on OD
If so, I look for Marte or McNeil to open up there
I don’t think they are planning to bring Acuña north, but if Nimmo isn’t ready, I would guess that he’d take that spot.
