At a time when the New York Mets and new team president David Stearns should be focused on building a winner through free agency, trades, and scouting, the topic of conversation continues to be Pete Alonso and his future with the team.
Bob Nightengale of USA Today reported, "No team, publicly or privately, said they were engaged in trade talks with the Mets for All-Star first baseman Pete Alonso during the winter meetings, but several GMs believe the Mets will listen to offers."
He continued, "If the Mets were fully intent in keeping Alonso, they have a funny way of showing it.
