Passan noted that the current situation feels more like saber rattling than an imminent decision. Although there’s uncertainty about whether Alonzo will remain a Met, he emphasized that the need for Alonzo within the organization is substantial. With a shaky offense, the Mets require a player of Alonzo’s caliber to provide protection for teammates like Juan Soto.
