"I think there should be more pressure on the Mets to retain Alonso now... he would actually give you once again that chance at having a lifelong Met to to spend on his entire career with the team" @FinkelsteinRyan & @AndrewJClaudio_ discuss why making Pete Alonso a New York

I think chemistry matters but only to an extent. People in a workplace sometimes don't get along. And, sometimes there are great clubhouses and the team still stinks. But that's because those players probably aren't good, which applies to bad clubhouses too.

@michaelgbaron Thank God the 86 Mets won or else fans would’ve absolutely despised that group of a holes.

If people want the #Mets to be better, they need better players. Those players don't need to be friends, go to each other's weddings, or go to their kid's birthday parties. They need to be good players who connect athletically.

It’s funny - when teams are good, the clubhouse always seems to be good. When teams are bad, the clubhouse is usually bad. Maybe that’s all true, but it starts with the talent, coaching, and athletic preparation. It always has and always will. #Mets

Friendly reminder - when teams are bad, the clubhouse is usually termed as bad. When teams are good, the clubhouse always seems to be a party. #Mets

ICYMI - Are the #Mets the favorites to land a star pitcher? https://t.co/5rv4Msaxo0

There’s some buzz about the Mets potentially being the “favorite” to sign a star free agent pitcher? If it’s true, is that a wise move for the #Mets? I offer some food for thought on the matter. https://t.co/xzUxK6eUbm

Once again, most any owner can afford to sign any player for whatever they’re asking. It’s always a choice, no matter what they’d have you otherwise believe.

Imagining a world with Edwin Díaz as the closer and either Devin Williams, Robert Suárez, or Pete Fairbanks setting him up. Not sure how realistic it is right now, but we shall see! #Mets

There’s a lot to be thankful for with the #Mets - @andrewsteeled gives us a few topics to consider in that regard this morning. Happy Thanksgiving to all! https://t.co/E9z6I7aQUB

Splash.

This Holiday season couldn’t be going better for 1986 Met Ed Hearn. The last few years, he has battled one sickness after another. He never lost hope and just kept battling.

WATCH ON YOUTUBE:

Is Marcus Semien still good? Earlier this week, @richmacleod and @AndrewJClaudio_ tried to figure out what the veteran second baseman can still do for the Mets at age 35.

What should we expect from Marcus Semien? @piazza_party takes a deep dive into his offense, defense and clubhouse presence. #Mets

#Mets signed RHP Nick Burdi, LHP Anderson Severino, RHP Robert Stock and OF Jose Ramos. All invited to spring training.

Marcus Semien spoke about simplifying his approach and not tinkering as much starting on May 30. He then went 4-for-4 that day and went on to hit .270/.338/.464 with 15 doubles, 12 home runs and 44 RBI over his final 71 games. So, there's that. #Mets
