00:00Bear necessity.

00:01Given his popularity in production,

00:03Amazons must re-sign Alonzo.

00:05Oh my gosh, without a doubt.

00:07Does a bear take a dump in the woods?

00:09Who cares what this is going to cost?

00:11Steve Cohen, open up that checkbook, baby,

00:14and get it done.

00:15And please, without the drama of last off season,

00:18how come keeping homegrown talent is always a Mets problem?

00:23Not so much a Steve Cohen problem,

00:25but it's definitely a Mets problem.

00:27I think I'm with Don LaGreco on this one

00:29when he's questioning,

00:30when do we get to say once a Mets,

00:33always a Mets, only a Mets, again?

00:36Not Mantle, not DiMaggio, not Farrah, not Jeter,

00:40not Pettit, not Enduhar, not Torres, not Judge,

00:47not Byrd, Ed Cranepool.

00:51Somebody check this men's blood pressure after that one.

00:53And look, no disrespect and rest in peace to Ed Cranepool

00:56because this man gave the franchise 17 seasons.

00:59But what Don is trying to get at there is,

01:02that was back from 1962 to 1979.

01:06Since then, Seaver was traded to the Reds.

01:09And as for Doc and Darryl, well, you guys know,

01:11they went to the other side of town.

01:13Why have Mets fans had to share their all-time greats

01:17with other franchises?

01:18Now, is Pete Alonzo perfect?

01:20No.

01:21But here's a guy that through seven seasons

01:22gave you 264 home runs, 712 RBIs, and 951 hits.

01:29And that production is not taking a hit at all.

01:31He's coming off a season where he put up

01:33the fourth most home runs, the second most RBIs,

01:37and the most hits of his career.

01:38You cannot let a homegrown 38 home run

01:43and the 126 RBI fan favorite walk for nothing.

01:48And then you're gonna replace him with who?

01:49Or replace him with what?

01:51That type of production is hard to find

01:53on a consistent basis.

01:55Open up this checkbook and play ball, Uncle Stevie,

01:58or get the thank you Pete tribute video ready.

02:01He's a bare necessity.

02:03So we're gonna be covering the Pete Alonzo

02:05Mets contract negotiations all off season.

02:08So head on over to newyorkpost.com slash sports

02:11for all things Mets.
