The ‘how many years’ debate for Pete Alonso leads off, plus Mets lessons learned in 2025

On the latest episode of The Mets Pod presented by Tri-State Cadillac, Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo look at the road ahead for Pete Alonso and the Mets offseason.  Connor and Joe discuss the money and years necessary for the Mets to bring back both Pete Alonso and Edwin Diaz, and they also talk about what the Mets can learn from the playoff exits of the Reds, Phillies, and Dodgers.  Later, the guys recap their Mets 2025 preseason predictions (yikes), and dig back into the Mailbag to answer questions about prospects who could make the major leagues in 2026, the future for Brett Baty, the thought of Houston’s Hunter Brown as a possible trade target, and ideas for improving center field.
