The 2025 New York Mets have seen it all. From Juan Soto, 26, opening his first year in New York with a MVP caliber year, making him a finalist for the award, to Pete Alonso popping off offensively and opting out, things have been crazy.

He has done it again, therefore leaving the pessimist Mets faithful concerned.
The star is represented by agent Scott Boras, who typically demands top dollar for his lucrative clients.
To my knowledge based on repeated behavior and what is typical of the business of baseball, the players are smart to make their demands noted.

Alonso is playing the numbers game. Cohen will likely pay him or offer something way more than typical.
