The big news Wednesday evening in the world of baseball was Pete Alonso-Signe with dishes on an agreement of $ 54 million over two years. After a long intersane of Alonso, chatter mainly involving the dishes, but sometimes hear about other teams – perhaps in an attempt by the agent of Alonso, Scott Boras, to arouse more interest – an agreement finally materialized.
The easy framing is that Alonso needed the dishes for it because no other team was so hot on their path. What is funny is that the need was mutual, because this Mets range really needed him. It was simply not good enough to achieve the high goals that the food should have. Now there is much more thunder.
Obviously, the signature of Juan Soto was a monstrous decision for the food, both in terms of the player they received and the message he sent. However, replacing Alonso with Soto – while a major upgrade in all points of view – is not as impactful as simply adding Soto to the range.

With Alonso back in a trailer, that’s exactly what the dishes did.
In fact, the addition of Soto makes Alonso’s profile much easier to look like a big plus in the range.
Alonso struck .240 with 172 stick withdrawals last season and that, while Soto struck .288 with 119 stick withdraws against 129 steps. Soto had a basic percentage of .419 while Alonso posted an OBP of .329. The average league striker struck .243 with an OBP of .312, so Alonso is perfectly adequate there while Soto is breath. If Alonso was in two or three holes, it could easily be said that it should be better in things like the stick in the stick and not to remove as much.
With the two in the programming, however, Soto can strike second behind the second finalist MVP Francisco Lindor, giving the food one of the most dynamic punch 1-2, while Alonon can sit in the middle of the ‘Order and simply be propelled. During his career, he struck 0.514 while making an average of 43 circuits and 112 points produced for 162 games (he only missed 23 games in six seasons).
In fact, with Alonso who returns, he is extremely likely to become the leader of the franchise in career circuits. Here is the current top five:
1. Darryl Strawberry, 252
2. David Wright, 242
3. Pete Alonso, 226
4. Mike Piazza, 220
5. Howard Johnson, 192
In addition, bringing Alonso means that dishes can move everyone in potential programming in a place, which makes it deeper and much more powerful.
This is what the programming of the dishes without Alonso could have looked like:
1. Lindor, ss
2. Soto, RF
3. Mark Winds, 1b
4. Brandon Nimmo, LF
5. Francisco Alvarez, C
6. Jesse Winker, ie (Plato Marte Starling)
7. Jose Siri, cf
8. Jeff McNeil, 2b
9. Brett Baty, 3b
Now, here is what he could look like Alonso.
1. Lindor, ss
2. Soto, RF
3. Winds, 3b
4. Alonso, 1b
5. Nimmo, LF
6. Alvarez, c
7. Winker / Marte, that is to say
8. McNeil, 2b
9. Siri, cf
Play with the spots below 1-2 whatever you want, but the net result is that the second option is much stronger.
Maybe it would not have been Baty to have another chance in the third goal in ninth place. Perhaps it would have been Ronny Mauricio, a high caliber perspective that missed last season after surgery to repair a torn LCA. He has a lot of advantages but is also a career striker. 292 / .346 / .506 in triple-a and that comes out of major surgery. There were a lot of unknown in this last programming place with Baty or Mauricio.
On a team building for the future, it is perfectly acceptable. However, the dishes have just gone to the NLCS and intend to win the World Series.
The worst count of the full season of Alonso in Home Runs is 34 years and it is completed at 53 years. It is as low as 0.217, but it also had 46 circuits and 118 points produced this season. He reached. 271 and he returned to the house of 131 points that year.
He will be seated in a very comfortable place this season with regard to RBI. Behind Lindor, Soto and the coming coming comes, Alonso could well establish a new career in RBI if it only receives. 2550 with 40 circuits. And he is able to better. This does not dream of potential as it would have been with Mauricio. We know with Alonso because we have already seen it.
This is why it was a mutually beneficial decision. Yes, Alonso needed dishes, but to get to where they want to go, they also needed him.
