MLB:
How would Diaz’s extension influence Alonso’s value if the Mets rework the bullpen and roster balance?
Qwiket AI:
Diaz’s extension tightens the Mets’ payroll optics but reinforces late-inning stability, which can support Alonso by maintaining a strong lineup around him. A secure bullpen reduces risk of blown leads and protects Alonso’s RBI opportunities. However, longer commitments elsewhere could constrain ownership flexibility, potentially pressuring Alonso to accept shorter deals.
