Mets owner Steve Cohen was “brutally honest” regarding negotiations with first baseman Pete Alonso’s camp at Amazin’ Day on Saturday. “I don’t like the negotiations,” a visibly angry Cohen said.

It is conceivable that Baty and Acuña alone could replace Alonso's home runs, which is to say nothing of what they stand to gain from their new center fielder. That is Jose Siri, who hit as many homers on his own last season (18) as the Mets got from all their center fielders.
