The New York Mets are not fully committed to being 2023 deadline sellers, according to Joel Sherman of the New York Post.
Nor should they be.
It would be an understatement the size of Pete Alonso's forearms to suggest that the Mets are not one of the most underwhelming teams of the season.
The star slugger and first baseman is one player the team has no plans of making available, regardless of whether it makes any deadline deals. "Polar Bear Pete" has struggled since tallying 26 home runs prior to the All-Star break and has not been the same hitter since taking a pitch off the wrist that left him sidelined earlier in the season.
