Alonso wants out of metsville, will test free agent market

GRA: Getting Soto was irrelevant.

In 2008, we needed to beat the Marlins on the last day of the season, in order to make the playoffs. Future Hall of Famer Tom Glavine, our top starter, took the hill, in his last start for the Mets. Glavine didn't make it out of the first inning, giving up seven runs in two-thirds of an inning, and then poo-poohed the importance of his choke-job. In 2025...
