The Mets set their Opening Day roster on Wednesday, and it correctly includes Pete Alonso. Service time nonsense be damned!
This is a very positive development if only because it shows there is finally honesty coming from the front office. Brodie Van Wagenen said he would take the best 25 men North, and Alonso proved he is one of them. Remember when another Mets GM would say something and then go back on it?
It is also obviously a smart baseball move. Alonso gives the Mets a better chance to win.
