During his January 7 appearance on Mets Hot Stove, SNY's MLB insider Andy Martino got honest about the New York Mets' chances of signing Japanese phenom Roki Sa

Roki Sasaki's window to sign with a major league team opens Wednesday, but the coveted Japanese right-hander has already closed the door on a few clubs, including the New York Yankees, per multiple media reports.

At some point the Mets either have to hear that Alonso is willing to accept their financial view of him or will get more aggressive elsewhere, probably pretty soon.

Alonso remains the top power hitter available, but as a first baseman with little value outside of his bat, his market has not developed as he hoped. Most recently, the four-time All-Star’s camp extended an exclusive offer to the Mets, believed to be for three years with a high average annual value.

On the latest episode of The Mets Pod presented by Tri-State Cadillac, Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo are still checking on Pete Alonso, and checking the checklist for the remainder of the offseason.
