Mike Francesa blasts Mets’ Pete Alonso trade campaign: ‘Patently unfair’

Something is clearly going on with Pete Alonso and the Mets. And Mike Francesa does not like it.

The WFAN legend defended the slugger Monday on his latest BetRivers podcast, sounding off after the latest in a parade of reports indicating the Amazins want to trade Alonso.

“There is a little bit of a campaign going on here,” Francesa said. “I don’t know if it’s a campaign to get him to get off the dime and not ask for an outrageous amount of money. His agent, if he is doing his job, is going to bring up the (Francisco) Lindor contract.
