What do you see when you read Pete Alonso’s reaction to trade rumors with his name at the center?
Here is a 28-year-old star, the best hitter on the Mets and the face of the franchise, saying he wants to continue on as long as the team will have him.
“I love representing this organization, I love being a Met,” Alonso told reporters in Atlanta on Tuesday night. “I love representing the City of New York the best way I possibly can.”
That came in response to a report from The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal that the Brewers and Mets were within “field-goal range” of a trade to send Alonso to Milwaukee at the deadline.
