Mets pivoting from Pete Alonso, International Signing Day recap & remembering Bob Uecker

Baseball Bar-B-Cast

While many of the top free agents this offseason have signed and know where they’ll be playing baseball next season, one franchise player still remains on the market and it seems like his old team is ready to move on. After signing Jesse Winker on Thursday, the New York Mets are reportedly ready to pivot their offseason plans away from bringing back franchise first baseman Pete Alonso.

Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman discuss why the polar bear has a right to be frustrated with the way things have gone for him this free agency with the Mets, question the lack of interest in a player who has been so durable on the field and explore where he could ultimately end up if his time in Queens is actually over.

Also on this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, the guys take a look back and remember the remarkable career of the late Bob Uecker, give a recap of some of the more notable International Signing Day players who signed, break down the latest in the Roki Sasaki sweepstakes involving the Los Angeles Dodgers, San Diego Padres, and Toronto Blue Jays, before making their picks for The Good, The Bad & The Uggla.
