People let me tell you 'bout my best friend,' Harry Nilsson once sang. Jeff McNeil and Pete Alonso have been two constants for the New York Mets since the 201

Since the Mets' apparent pivot, another Alonso suitor, the Toronto Blue Jays, made their first major signing of the offseason, adding outfielder Anthony Santander on a five-year, $92.5 million contract. While the Blue Jays could still add Alonso, it's unclear if they would shell out another major contract for a power hitter like Alonso.

That was the basis of Kansas City Royals first baseman Vinnie Pasquantino’s argument on “The Chris Rose Rotation” on Monday. The 27-year-old pointed to slugger Pete Alonso as an example of a first baseman undervalued by his former team, the New York Mets.

The Mets made what they perceived as a last-ditch effort to sign Pete Alonso and when that was rejected began their pivot away from their slugging first baseman, The Post has learned.

Despite David Stearns and Mets owner Steve Cohen's words of praise toward Pete Alonso, the destination of the first baseman remains open-ended.

During an appearance on the “The Chris Rose Rotation” podcast Monday, the Richmond native purported that Billy Beane’s prized stat undervalues his breed — first basemen — and that the Mets front office should look past Pete Alonso’s career 3.8 average and at everything else he brings to the table.

The New York Mets are linked to free agent slugger Jurickson Profar to replace Pete Alonso, according to Robert Murray.
