“Just pain. It was pain everywhere.” That was the mood for New York Mets fans at Citi Field on Tuesday night, as Baltimore Orioles star first baseman Pete Alonso — who spent the first seven seasons of his MLB career with the Mets before the franchise didn’t come close to offering him the five-year, $155 million contract Baltimore did this past offseason — hit a game-tying home run in the top of the ninth inning. The homer marked the 300th of Alonso’s career, drew a standing ovation on the road...

Mets fans at Citi Field showered Pete Alonso with cheers after he hit career home run No. 300 Tuesday night, treating the franchise’s leading home-run hitter as if he’d never left New York — even as the blast helped the Orioles send the game into extra innings.

Alonso greeted the three fans outside the Orioles’ clubhouse with handshakes, hugs and effu...

The operative fact is that the Mets were eliminated from the playoffs on Monday. Everything about Pete Alonso's return to Queens this week as an Oriole is inseparable from that, in time but also in causation, to a subset of Mets fans. They gave him four separate standing ovations on Monday not only because he was a well-liked former player—and go ask a WFAN call screener from 2024 to see how ahistorical it would be to say he was universally beloved at the time—but because of what his absence f...

It wasn't that long ago that Mark Vientos looked like a building block for the New York Mets . Now MLB.com is naming him as one of the more realistic trade chips in baseball heading into the offseason. From 27-Homer Breakout To Trade Bait
Mark Feinsand included Vientos among his list of intriguing offseason trade candidates. Vientos broke out in 2024 with 27 home runs, 71 RBIs and an .837 OPS in just 111 games, numbers that made him a key piece of New York's run to the NLCS and had fan...
