Part 3/8:
Passan explained the recent reports suggesting differing contract demands between Alonzo and the Mets, citing a proposal of three years at $68 to $70 million from the Mets versus Alonzo’s request for $75 million. He reflected that if the reports are accurate, it may indicate a cooling enthusiasm from the Mets, questioning whether they genuinely want to secure Alonzo’s services. However, he reminded listeners that negotiations often feature tension, and a cooling-off period could potentially lead to fruitful discussions.
