Yeah, strong words from Darryl Strawberry.

Yeah, it's almost, I mean, he's implying that he left for money as opposed to loyalty to the Mets.

So he's pitting, at least trying to, Met fans against each other because of how their emotions are kind of split on Pete Alonso.

Because some of you wanted him to go, like they were done with him.

A lot of people didn't because they wanted to see him be a 500 home run icon who was start to finish as a homegrown New York Met.

And Daryl Strawberry just throwing some fire, some wood on the fire, man.

The problem with what Darrell is saying is the Mets never made Pete Alonzo an offer.

So the only way this could have gone down is as he gets the five-year deal from Baltimore, he would need it to have instructed Scott Boris or himself to call up Steve Cohen and David Stearns personally and say, hey, guys, just give me your best offer because I do like it here.

And Baltimore gave me a massive five-year deal.

Just let me know where, as far as you're willing to go.

Otherwise, I'm going to sign with the Orioles.

And I don't know what the Mets would have said.

Right.

But...

Do you think we'll ever find out how that went down?

Well, I think that's what happened.

The Mets never made him an offer.

He got a five-year deal from Baltimore and that was it.

I know that, but I wonder if we'll ever find out if he called or had his agent call the Mets and say, I want to be back with the Mets.

What's your best offer?
