The MLB offseason is heating up, and the buzz surrounding potential free agency moves is electrifying! Recently, former Mets GM Steve Phillips stirred the pot by suggesting that Pete Alonso might not opt out of his contract, which could impact the Mets' pursuit of Toronto Blue Jays superstar Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
This raises some intriguing questions: If Alonso stays put, does that mean the Mets will miss out on Guerrero, or could they find a way to make it work with a fearsome lineup featuring both? Imagine a batting order with Alonso, Francisco Lindor, Juan Soto, and Guerrero—would that be the most formidable lineup in baseball history?
On the flip side, with the Yankees reportedly not keen on entering a bidding war for Guerrero, could this open the door for the Mets to snag him without breaking the bank? Or will Steve Cohen's willingness to spend lead to a bidding frenzy that could change the landscape of the league?
Let’s not forget, Guerrero is considered a generational talent. If you were in the shoes of Mets management, would you prioritize acquiring Guerrero over keeping Alonso? What bold predictions do you have for the upcoming offseason?
