Pete Alonso’s long-term future in Queens remains murky, and the Mets even reportedly explored the possibility of trading the star infielder to a surprise team at the trade deadline.

Before the Aug. 1 deadline, the Brewers made a significant push to try and acquire the All-Star, according to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic.

Milwaukee held conversations with the Mets before and after its July 27 trade with the Pirates that brought first baseman Carlos Santana to the Brewers.

Are the Mets organization dumb enough to not know how beloved Pete Alonso is with Met fans and how nerve-wracking all this talk about him possibly not coming back is?
