Pete Alonso responds to Brewers-Mets trade speculation
The Polar Bear is all-in on trying to help the Mets get back to the top
In what was supposed to be a memorable year for the New York Mets, the opposite has been the case. Fans were hoping for a trip to the postseason, with dreams of a World Series on their minds. Well, maybe next year.
The Mets have been a total disappointment and there were even rumors about the team trading Pete Alonso before the deadline. Seriously? Alonso was understandably taken back by the reports, but he made it clear that he loves the Mets and he takes pride in being able to call himself a Met.
Pete Alonso was asked about reports of the Brewers talking to the Mets about trading for him:

"I don't know what the future holds, but right now, I'm a Met and I love being a Met. I take in putting on the jersey every day and representing the city of New York." pic.twitter.com/0Sr1Q4ssSg
You can tell from that video that Alonso was pretty surprised to hear the news. However, that's not going to have an impact on him trying to close out the season the right way for the club from Flushing, Queens.
Alonso admitted that he doesn't know what the future holds for him. The Mets could also look to trade him this offseason. If that happens, NY supporters will surely be heartbroken.
