Yes, the New York Mets have much to feel good about following a rousing run of unexpected success this season. All those warm and fuzzies were warranted. Now, the cold reality: Pete Alonso’s uncertain future is far from the only priority this winter. New York will probably have about a dozen free agents to replace — including Alonso — once contract options are decided, and the pitching staff is particularly thin at the moment. The good news is the Mets have an owner with deep pockets, an established core that has playoff experience — and perhaps more than $100 million coming off their payroll as they look to build on a surprise appearance in the National League Championship Series.
