It still makes so much sense for Mets, Pete Alonso to reunite
NY Post
Pete Alonso still needs a job.
The Mets could use another significant bat in their lineup.
Ideas, anyone, on how both situations can be resolved? Here’s one: Put Alonso, his agent Scott Boras, Mets owner Steve Cohen and president of baseball operations David Stearns together in a room. Nobody is allowed to leave until a deal is struck. Cohen and Boras can split the tab for takeout.
A divorce seems probable after the Mets began moving on last week, with the belief that Alonso will be signing elsewhere. The team has since re-signed Jesse Winker and Thursday officially announced lefty A.J. Minter’s addition to the bullpen. The buzz surrounding Alonso, meanwhile, has been minimal.

For a couple of minutes there, there was a whiff of belief circulating through Madison Square Garden. Maybe it was fool’s gold. Or maybe it was something else. The final score — Celtics 119, Knicks 117 (OT) — would suggest the former. The life inside the building as the Knicks finally punched back against Boston would hint at the latter.
