Shohei Ohtani, who might be again pitching in July, is the clear NL MVP favourite. However primarily based on present exploits, it could be between a few guys named Pete drafted by the Mets: Pete Crow-Armstrong and Pete Alonso.
The Alonso signing will not be one of the best of the winter (that could be Max Fried), but it surely isn’t far behind, even with $33 million in tax added to the $30M wage.
He received’t be getting $500M, or shut. However that is the third yr out of 4 Alonso is outhitting Vlad Guerrero Jr.
The Mets had the opposite Pete, however as Jed Hoyer stated on “The Show,” the New York Submit podcast, the Mets didn’t need to half with the upper ranked (on the time) Francisco Alvarez, Brett Baty, Ronny Mauricio or Matt Allan, so the Cubs settled for buying PCA in a 2021 commerce.
