The Mets had a chance this season to trade their talented starting pitching for a mountain of minor league talent. There were teams salivating over Jacob deGrom and Noah Syndergaard but the Mets stayed firm and held onto their “Twin…
Back in 2013 the Mets selected Dominic Smith with their 11th overall pick. A pick that meant the Mets could not sign a Top-tier Free Agent. A pick that meant the Mets were spared the dive bomb decline of Michael…
The Mets are entering the offseason looking at a Top 15 draft pick (mediocre) and not a whole lot of money coming off the books. They have a whole lot of money tied into Yoenis Cespedes and David Wright that…
Before the season I ranked the Top 25 players in the Met farm system and now that the minor league year is just about over it is time to provide grades for those players based on how they performed. …

Most people will know that the Mets traded their closer, Jeurys Familia, to the Oakland Athletics for two C-Level prospects in William Toffey and Bobby Wahl. This isn’t to say that Toffey and Wahl have no value but it proves…
