Both Alonso and Diaz have Stearns/Cohen over a barrel because of the lack of alternatives. They'll just have to pay up. And gotta load up the wheelbarrow for Bellinger. Next wheelbarrow for starting pitching. Uncle Steve, it'll be an expensive winter. You'll be 70 next June and you can't take it with you. Go for it!

Expensive winter indeed. I don't know if we can keep Pete and Sugar and still get the centerfielder and (possibly) starting pitcher we need.

Plus there's the matter of rebuilding the bullpen. Some guys will be back from injury, which will help, but assuming Diaz is the guy we hang on to, we still need to staff the bridge to get to him.

Ever since Pete Alonso hit THAT homer off of Devin Williams, Williams has not been the same. HARD pass.

I'm thinking that they would not be able to replace him. Sometimes there is a roller coaster ride, but he has been real good. Think he likes it here, but they will need to be very fair with him or they will lose him.
