Mets being vindictive towards 30 year old Pete Alonso reminds me so much of sitting vigil and listening to my transistor radio all night on June 15, 1977 when they traded Tom Seaver in their “Midnight Massacre" that we #Mets fans still are not over. RESIGN PETE!

To me, the difference btw this to Pete is the same as DeGrom.
They were offered good credible contracts.
Pete turned his down in ‘23, wanting more (perfectly legit).
Seaver was traded because M Donald Grant hated him and his clubhouse influence.
1979
Batted 288
OBP. 343
Slug. 613
OPS. 956
HR. 48
RBI. 115
Runs. 97
He’d get Juan Soto money today after that year
Teoscar Hernandez ( a better all around player) just got 3 yrs 66 million from the Dodgers
The Mets offered Pete over market $$$$
I lived through the Seaver trade, too. They let Dick Young talk shit about him and his wife with no blowback. Grant was an utter disgrace;that was vindictive.
A generous 7 year deal ,and then a 3 year 90 million deal?
Yeah, we must have totally different definitions of 'vindictive'
They offered 3 years at 60-65
Ngl kinda disappointed in the Mets for this
