Good Morning. Francisco Alvarez gets in some hacks in Florida, Mets.com talks the "Ball on the Wall" play, and Pete Alonso extension speculation.
Section Links: Mets Links, MLB Links, Winter Baseball, and This Day in Mets History.
Anthony DiComo Mets.com: What will it take to keep Alonso in Queens? "MLB.com’s Jon Morosi recently estimated that it would take around eight years and $200 million to lock up Alonso...However, there’s the Mets’ payroll to consider; it’s already about $80 million above MLB’s highest Competitive Balance Tax threshold, even with Alonso on a relatively modest $14.5 million arbitration contract. Waiting to sign Alonso would allow Cohen to avoid additional tax over the next two seasons"
Bill Ladson at Mets.com continues his in depth look at 1973 Mets with Ron Hodges. '73 Mets' unsung hero? The backup catcher. " The famous pall on the wall play is discussed "'Garrett threw a perfect one-hopper to me at the plate. All I had to do was catch the ball and let the runner slide into me,' Hodges remembered."
