3 Brewers players the NY Mets must demand in any Pete Alonso trade discussion

In the world of baseball, rumors can spread like wildfire. David Stearns, the President of Baseball Operations for the New York Mets, recently addressed the trade rumors surrounding Pete Alonso, their powerful first baseman. Despite reports of interest from other teams, Stearns downplayed the likelihood of a trade occurring, leaving fans curious about the future of Alonso.

As fans, we often find ourselves torn between what our heart desires and what our logical mind tells us. In this case, it seems unlikely that the Mets will trade Alonso, but as the saying goes, “in the right deal, anyone can be traded.”

Among the teams reportedly interested in acquiring Alonso were the Milwaukee Brewers, Stearns’ former team. If talks were to resume, the Mets would need to push for a compelling offer, potentially involving one of the Brewers’ talented players.

One such player Brewers fans would hate to see leave is Jackson Chourio. This 19-year-old prospect had an impressive season, showcasing his skills in both Double-A and Triple-A. With 22 home runs, 44 stolen bases, and a solid slash line of .283/.338/.467, Chourio has proven himself as a powerful force on the field.

However, acquiring Chourio alone may be a challenge for the Mets. As the second-ranked prospect in all of baseball, he seems out of reach if the Mets were to offer only Alonso in return. A trade of this magnitude would require multiple pieces, with the Brewers seeking additional players who can contribute to their win-now ambitions, while the Mets would prefer more controllable assets.

Considering the Brewers’ traditionally lower payroll, it is unlikely that they would easily part ways with an exceptional talent like Chourio. They recognize the importance of nurturing future superstars to compete with teams like the Mets, who have significant financial resources at their disposal.

While the acquisition of Chourio may be a long shot, there may be other prospects that could catch the Mets’ attention. The trade rumors continue to swirl, leaving fans in suspense as they ponder the potential outcomes.
