Came down to show me the $$$$
đ˘w pete
Such a fake… didn't even have preplanned bs speech to NY
Have fun in Baltimore Pete.
Love you Pete, miss you already.
He's a poor man's Glen Davis
Mets fan here. Pete will hit 50 home runs a year calling Camden Yards home. MAJOR blunder by Stearns letting him leave.
Sure he's calling Baltimore home $155 million.
He does not look happy đ˘
Business is business I'm not a Mets fan but when the orioles play the Mets at Citi field Mets fans have to cheer and respect him. he loved you guys ultimately he wanted a contract the Mets didn't want to give him. he deserves his money.
Dammmm man
Miss you bruh
Home until next trade comesđ cliche
Youâre proud to call the murder capital of the US home?!? No one loves being from Baltimore, place is a SHITHOLE. From Nj Iâve worked down there on a few jobs, leave the beautiful down town area and your chances of getting killed just tripled. Hey enjoy Baltimore Pete đ
Trader. All about $$ who you kidding.
Love Pete, this looks so wrong.
Peter Alonso you talk too much
Iâm so split on this. I feel he was greedy turning down the 7 year extension. If he really wanted a legacy in NY and be a Met, he wouldâve taken that. On the flip side, I donât like how Stearns and Cohen treated him. I think heâs a fool for going to Baltimore. Boston I could see. I mean Baltimore over NY, finishing your career in NY with broken records, number retired, adored by the fans, etc. Baltimore is not NY with regards to baseball. Good luck! Thank God you can feed your family now at $200 million vs $158 million to have been a life long Met. Donât know how you wouldâve survived at $158 million plus the millions before and after the contract. Baltimore just doesnât have the same glitz and glamour! Sorry!!
What bothered me most wasnât just what he saidâit was what he couldnât bring himself to say. His comments about Mets fans were empty and generic: âgreat people,â âclubbies,â âstaff,â âlocker room.â No names. No specificity. No ownership. No teammates. And barely an acknowledgment of the fans who showed up for him year after year. It came off as cold, bitter, and calculated.
Letâs call it what it is: ingratitude.
This wasnât some short stay or brief stop along the way. He was drafted by the Mets in 2017. Thatâs over 11 years in the organization, including seven seasons as a Major League player, and this is the level of perspective he brings to the moment? After more than a decade, this is how petty he still is?
Even if youâre angryâangry that the front office didnât grade you out at the number you delusionally believe youâre worthâthereâs a basic level of professionalism and class that should transcend contract negotiations. The Mets drafted him. They sent him through instructional leagues. Their development system taught him how to prepare, how to compete, and how to be a professional. They gave him his first real opportunity in Major League Baseball.
The classy moveâthe bare minimum, franklyâwould have been to say: âRegardless of how things ended, Iâm grateful to the Mets organization for helping me become the player I am today.â Thatâs it. No concessions. No weakness. Just maturity.
But he couldnât do that. He was too consumed by ego. Too influenced by an agent who inflated his sense of value. Too resentful that the Mets didnât validate that fantasy. So instead of closing the chapter with dignity, he chose bitterness.
After 11 years in the system and seven years in the big leagues, that level of pettiness isnât understandableâitâs revealing.
And honestly? It says far more about him than it ever will about the Mets.
