What Pete Alonso, Mets stars could bring back in potential fire sale
The Mets look incredibly bad right now, but I can see why they shouldn’t be sold just yet: they have a near-record $330 million payroll and don’t have a ton of talent, but they should do a lot better than 22-33. That being said, the team should start preparing for that possibility, because being on […]
