Same guy who came to this thread bragging about Jazz being better than Soto, lmfao.Sounds like he really misses Captain Judge.
And he is now building up enough AB and doing well, that it is no longer a “first” time for pitchersAcuna should play every day at 2nd base. He is a very good young player, who will get better with experience. He has a good feel and understanding of the game.
That’s the problemWhy? He can't go anywhere until November.
Incentive. Not basing multi-year decisions on 20 games. Being sure this isn't a hot streak that ends. Not forgetting his performance last year. Boras is his agent. We have the money to sign him if he keeps this up. Not clear how many other suitors there will be. Other stuff.If I am Pete- I would not sign an extension today but if I am the Met's- I offer him 5/170 today.
guy has not lost it and he is showing that he really is a duo captain and can carry a team. Dude comes to play every day and you never see him even take a pitch off... Yeah- could wait until the end of the season, but why?
Worst year of his career with 34 HR and almost 100 rbi and came up big in the playoffs.Incentive. Not basing multi-year decisions on 20 games. Being sure this isn't a hot streak that ends.

DY should be bye bye“Boo toe” should go back to “boot oh”
And he got the deal he got, not a better one, and no one else was offering it. 20 games later, you want to give him everything. Let's just say I'll ride with Stearns.Worst year of his career with 34 HR and almost 100 rbi and came up big in the playoffs.
That is a career year for some of these superstars
If he didn't sign an extension last year, I doubt his mindset changed enough to change it now. It's an ego driven game and players want what they want.If I am Pete- I would not sign an extension today but if I am the Met's- I offer him 5/170 today.

Seems to be the new norm for Boras clients. Trying to remember- did the other guys, previous year, do extensions during their 1 year deals or did they go back on the open market.If he didn't sign an extension last year, I doubt his mindset changed enough to change it now.

I'm not sure what the majority of the Boras clients end up doing. I would be curious to see what the overall success rates of the holdout actually is. For every success story, you get at least one Jordan Montgomery situation.Seems to be the new norm for Boras clients.

Pete actually loves playing here and I do think he would prefer to be a lifelong Met. And he does not seem the type of player that is going to slack off after a big contract. Agree that we would not want to over pay on a bad contract but Soto/Lindor/Alonso is a show that is finally packing Citi Field. Pete is worth every penny on and off the field. As an investment, this would just make sense.
