The controversial former Yankees superstar was asked about Mets slugger Pete Alonso’s future while on “Evan and Tiki” on WFAN on Thursday., The Post’s Jon Heyman first reported earlier this month, as the first baseman enters the final year of his contract with the Mets.“Should the Mets fans now be nervous that Pete Alonso hired Scott Boras?” Tiki Barber asked Rodriguez on the show.
All he could do was let out a “hmm,” before going quiet, prompting Evan Roberts to check “Alex, are you there?”“Yeah I’m here, but I don’t have anything to add to that,” Rodriguez answered before the two hosts broke out in laughter.“That silence scared the crap out of me,” Roberts, who is an outspoken Mets fan, said.is known to take his clients to free agency
The Mets tried to lock up Alonso last winter, but the two sides “weren’t in the same ballpark,” Heyman reported, and a few trade rumors started to pop up toward the end of the regular season.Boras informed the team of the decision to opt out during Game 4 of the 2007 World Series between the Red Sox and Rockies, which drew ample criticism for the timing.Rodriguez later criticized Boras for his handling of the situation, and claimed he negotiated the new deal without Boras’ help.
