Alonso is staying in Queens, and Bergman is staying in Houston.
One of this administration’s main goals is to keep players focused on working well with each other and creating harmony and camaraderie. They are all young and making not much dough, so injecting a high-priced superstar into the mix could create be a tricky balance. After all, this team started taking off the very day their moody, high-priced, underachieving shortstop took his leave, and it hasn’t escaped my notice that he is not anywhere near the team during this playoff run.
