Part 2/6:
On Thursday, the Mets made headlines with the impending agreement to bring Jesse Winker on board, pending a physical examination. Winker's addition to the team is seen as a valuable move to bolster the outfield as well as the designated hitter position. His performance last season played a crucial role for the Mets, making this signing not just necessary but strategic in shaping the team's trajectory.
However, the more significant narrative emerging from this move is the team's outlook on life without Pete Alonso. Currently, Alonso remains a free agent and has not inked a deal with any other club. Despite this, the Mets are reportedly skeptical about reaching any agreement with the star slugger, which suggests a possible end to his time with the franchise.
