Sporting a pre-season beard, perhaps a symbol of what he and Put I hope to realize later this season, Brandon Nimmo discussed The return of Pete Alonso Friday in Port St. Lucie, in Florida.
“So excited,” Nimmo told Sny. “Obviously, I love to compete with Pete and be with him for so many years now, so to be able to bring him back and make him part of this team, I think it’s incredible.”
Of course, after an “exhausting” process, to use the owner Steve CohenWords, throughout the offseason with regard to the Alonso free agency, he and the dishes came to an agreement earlier this week on an agreement of $ 54 million of two years to maintain the slugger in Queens for at least a year more.
Beyond that, who knows as Alonso has an opt-out after the first year. In any case, the first base player returns to the programming of the dishes who needed a bat like his in the middle of the order, especially after winning the Juan Soto SweepStakes in December.
“I am so excited to have (Alonso) in our programming,” said Nimmo, unable to contain his smile. “He looks great on paper. Now he only gets to the case and get to work in spring training. I am delighted to see him in a few days and excited to have him brought back. “
Alonso’s signature probably puts an arc on a successful off -season for New York and leaves very few question points on their list.
Alongside Soto, Nimmo and Alonso (without any particular order) at the top of the range will be the MVP candidate Francisco Lindor and star in small groups Mark Venosmaking the first half of New York order one of the deepest in the league.
And after a remarkable 2024 season which saw them progress to the NLCS, Nimmo and the dishes have a lot of reasons to smile.
