Fans Demand Star's Return at Mets Event
Mon Jan 27 2025
Fans of the New York Mets took over an event meant to celebrate the team's future. Instead of focusing on the club's plans, they chanted "We Want Pete, " hoping to sway management to re-sign their star player, Pete Alonso. The event featured key figures like team owner Steve Cohen and general manager David Stearns. Despite the passion, Cohen and Stearns reminded fans that baseball is a business and Alonso, being a free agent, has the right to explore his options. Alonso's future with the Mets remains uncertain, as the team has made an offer that he doesn't favor. Cohen emphasized that Alonso deserves to see what's out there in the market. The Mets are preparing their roster with or without Alonso, as they await his decision. It's a wait-and-see situation for both the team and its loyal fans.
