Who’s the favorite in the NL East now that Pete Alonso has re-signed with the Mets and all the heavy lifting seems to be done among the three heavyweights in the division?
I set out to find a consensus answer to that question, seeking the opinions of MLB scouts and executives.
The more people I talked to, the less clarity I found.
I wound up stretching my poll to include seven people, none of whom had any affiliation to the Mets, Atlanta Braves or Philadelphia Phillies, and each said that they could easily make a case for more than one team as the winner.
