Soto and Alonso Are the Only Untouchables

Brandon Tierney & Sal Licata

Sal laid down a fiery ultimatum for the Mets' future, stating that if he were in charge, he'd be willing to blow up the entire roster—except for Pete Alonso and Juan Soto. He argues that this duo is the only untouchable part of the team, and everything else is fair game for a shake-up. While acknowledging Alonso's recent hot streak and the importance of having his bat in the lineup, Sal emphasized that this fearsome tandem is the only foundation worth keeping. He believes the Mets' lack of consistent performance from the rest of the team proves that a major overhaul is needed, but it should not come at the cost of breaking up the one thing that gives the Mets a real chance to win.
