The Athletic Scott Boras defends process after Mets owner Steve Cohen calls Pete Alonso talks ‘exhausting’. "'Pete’s free-agent contract structure request are identical to the standards and practices of other clubs who have signed similarly situated qualifying-offer/all-star level players,' agent Scott Boras said. 'Nothing different. Just established fairness standards.'” (Subscription Required)

Bill Madden NY Daily News: Other than Juan Soto, Mets have done little to improve roster. One of the areas Bill discusses Jose Iglesias saying: "Somewhat surprisingly the Mets seem content to also part ways with the popular 35-year-old Iglesias who, despite hitting .337 during the regular season, wore down in the playoffs, prompting the Mets brain trust to conclude he doesn’t have much left. Still, there’s no underestimating the value of clubhouse chemistry, which he was a big part of last year."
