Part 5/6:
Potential Restructuring of the Agreement
A feasible path forward appears to be restructured contract negotiations that could mutually benefit both Alonzo and the Mets. While the team is hesitant to commit to extended years, accommodating a four-year deal with favorable opt-out conditions could entice Alonzo to solidify his future with the Mets.
This proposed deal could balance both the financial implications for the Mets and the interests of Alonzo, providing him incentive to remain in Flushing while maintaining flexibility for the Mets. Emphasizing the need for cooperation from both sides, the commentary suggested that if Alonzo can present this more engaged approach to Cohen himself, a breakthrough might be possible.
