The New York Mets are still interested in a reunion with Pete Alonso, but there appears to be another team in the mix, according to former GM Jim Duquette.

That was the basis of Kansas City Royals first baseman Vinnie Pasquantino’s argument on “The Chris Rose Rotation” on Monday. The 27-year-old pointed to slugger Pete Alonso as an example of a first baseman undervalued by his former team, the New York Mets.

During an appearance on the “The Chris Rose Rotation” podcast Monday, the Richmond native purported that Billy Beane’s prized stat undervalues his breed — first basemen — and that the Mets front office should look past Pete Alonso’s career 3.8 average and at everything else he brings to the table.
