Mets slugger Pete Alonso backed up his passionate speech on Monday with a big night against the Washington Nationals.
When Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns and manager Carlos Mendoza called a team meeting on Monday to discuss the road ahead with their most valuable player, Francisco Lindor, out with a lower-back issue, slugging first baseman Pete Alonso felt compelled to address the room — the only player to do so during that gathering.
“It was good for him to say what he needed to say the other day,” Mendoza said. “To go out and back it up is good.” For the Mets to stay afloat, the big names need to step up, which has not necessarily been the case of late. If he can get hot in what would be a perfect time for the Mets, not only would he help see his team across the regular-season finish line and into the postseason, but it could certainly change the conversation surrounding his future with the organization. The 30-year-old is a free agent this winter, and his days with the club — at least from the outside — are murky.
