Mets Teammates Reunite for Laughs

0:00On March 31st, Pete Alonzo and Jacob DeGrome, Old Met's teammates, had a funny reunion during Tuesday night's Rangers Orioles game at Camden Yards. In the first inning, Alonzo ripped a two-out single of the middle off DeGrome to get on first base. That's his fifth hit in 16 at Bats since joining the Orioles, all singles, by the way. Alonzo is no speed demon, with just 18 steals in over 1,000 big league games. Still, after Atley Reckman worked a full count, DeGrome's team spun and fired a pick-off throw to first baseman Jake Berger. It caught Alonzo off guard, but he scrambled back safely. Alonzo flashed a big smile at DeGrome, tossing his arms up like what the heck, and DeGrome grinned right back. The two share that light-hearted vibe from their days together in New York, from 2019 to 2022. This week, Embalto Moore brought more Met's connections for the Rangers. Outfielder Brandon Nemo hugged it out with Alonzo before Monday's opener. And hey, Alonzo did swipe second in spring training against the Astros back on March

1:034th. Moments like these remind us, baseball's got heart amid the competition, especially when former teammates turn rivals into smiles on the diamond. Stay tuned with MLB News Today, AI-powered updates.
