NEW YORK -- Top Mets prospect Peter Alonso was finally in uniform at Citi Field on Wednesday, just not as part of New York's active roster.
Alonso was honored on the field as the Mets' minor league player of the year about two weeks after New York frustrated its fans by declining to promote him to the major leagues.
Alonso's agents Adam Karon and Tripper Johnson said at the time it was "disheartening" that Alonso wasn't among the club's September call-ups, and Alonso said Wednesday he was "disappointed." The Mets said they were concerned about finding Alonso playing time at first base.
