Celebrating Pete: Don't Let Him Walk, Cohen!

Brandon Tierney & Sal Licata

Sal and BT celebrated Pete Alonso's franchise record, with Sal passionately arguing that Alonso is exactly who the Mets need him to be: a consistent power hitter and the heart of the team. They challenged the Mets' front office, asking how they could possibly let their homegrown home run king walk away, especially after his strong performance this season. While BT raised concerns about the long-term financial commitment and Alonso's occasional inconsistencies, Sal countered that Pete's production is undeniable and that he's the one player keeping the team competitive. The two agreed that while a case could be made for a more well-rounded player, the emotional and on-field value of keeping Alonso is too great to ignore.
