Is the First Base Market Broken? Vinnie Pasquantino Weighs In on Alonso's Free Agency Dilemma 

The current state of the first baseman market has sparked some serious debate, especially with Vinnie Pasquantino's recent comments on the undervaluation of players at his position. With Pete Alonso still unsigned, it raises some intriguing questions about how teams are valuing production versus positional scarcity.

Is it time for a reevaluation of how we assess first basemen in terms of WAR? Vinnie argues that the current metrics are outdated and unfairly penalize players at first base. If we consider the evolution of the game and the data available today, should we be adjusting the baseline for first basemen?

Moreover, Vinnie's thoughts on the free agency landscape are equally compelling. Are teams becoming too obsessed with efficiency at the expense of acquiring proven talent? With the Dodgers investing in players who contribute both on and off the field, could this be a blueprint for success that other teams are missing?

Let’s dive deeper into this. Do you think the current metrics are shortchanging first basemen? How do you feel about the way teams are approaching free agency? Are we witnessing a shift in how the game values certain positions? Share your thoughts and let’s discuss!
