Alonso has had a nosedive season offensively and we shouldn't pretend otherwise. He's had a drop of 103 points in OPS. That contract is going to end up being way worse than Polanco's bad deal.
Murakami would have been the ideal replacement given his age. Ryan O'Hearn would have been a better replacement, too. And perhaps most surprising, Luis Arraez has had a terrific season, albeit at 2B. Arraez has split time between 1B and 2B in the past.
I wonder if the Mets have learned any lessons on bargain hunting, paying two thirds the price for a 95% reduction in RBIs.
Devers? Alvarez,Baty and Tong for Devers?
