Pete Alonso returns to the Mets, Pete Alonso RETURNS to the Mets, Yankees & Dodgers Spring Training position BATTLES Spring Training position battles

One of the most notable free agents has finally signed with only days until Spring Training, and it’s a reunion that many have been expecting. Late Wednesday night, the New York Mets and Pete Alonso agreed on a deal to bring the Polar Bear back for at least one more season in Flushing. Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman discuss why the re-signing by the Mets was always inevitable despite the back-and-forth between the club and Alonso’s camp, the reasoning why the first-base market never materialized for Pete and the reason why the Amazin’s lineup looks so much better now. Also, on this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, the guys talk about a few notable Spring Training position battles, including who is playing third base for the New York Yankees and which pitchers might be included in an already crowded Los Angeles Dodgers starting rotation. Jake & Jordan then talk about a few important players returning in 2025 before making their picks for The Good, The Bad & The Uggla.
