Pete Alonso signs with the Baltimore Orioles, leaving New York Mets fans reeling and the franchise at a crossroads.  

Is David Stearns orchestrating a bold reset, or have the Mets lost the core that brought hope to Queens?  

Ryan Finkelstein breaks down the emotional and strategic fallout of Alonso’s five-year, $155 million deal, the gut punch of losing Brandon Nimmo and Edwin Diaz, and a fanbase desperate for answers.

With major roster voids and no clear Plan B at first base, the discussion centers on Mets’ off-season options—will stars like Cody Bellinger, or Kyle Tucker fill the gap, or is more upheaval coming?  

Key topics include Stearns’ unpopular moves, Francisco Lindor’s leadership, and the unforgiving New York spotlight as the Mets ponder their next blockbuster.  

Don’t miss this passionate analysis of the Mets’ rapidly shifting future and the questions that could define their upcoming season.
