Is that because if they get the Mets to offer and hire him while still under contract, they can get something back for him?

Zoomed over my head. I don't get it.

The Polar Bear is Pete Alonso's nickname and there was some trade speculation involving him at this year's deadline. I was in gest speculating him as compensation for CC ;)

Interesting, seeing as the Brewers start and finish next season with the Mets.

If he can, and intends to, interview one week later anyway, why not just grant it? You don't really lose out on anything, but might gain some goodwill.
