“The Mets have a toxic clubhouse. And Pete Alonso is part of that.”
Alonso is the guy who has to go. It pains me to say that Alonso, a guy who all he does is play and produce…it’s not that the Mets can’t afford Pete Alonso, and it’s not like they don’t love his production, because they know what he provides. So what is it, exactly? Something is off, an Alonso has to be the one, if you’re looking to change something. If you’re looking to change the look of this team, culture is not something that can be bought.”
(editor’s note – Pete produces in bunches that do not result in winning baseball.)
“Why did they fail so miserably? It’s because you have a bunch of selfish individuals not playing as a team,”“And unfortunately, Alonso is part of that.
“Put it this way: I’ve done my homework, and I know there are issues in that clubhouse. That’s a fact. They know something. They know the clubhouse was a major problem….that’s the reason Pete Alonso was made available. That’s the reason the Mets need a significant change in that clubhouse and their culture. It’s just not working. It’s become a toxic environment there.”
