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…
We’ve been writing about Nabil Crismatt on Mets360 for a few years now. The relatively unknown pitcher from Barranquilla, Columbia wasn’t a big money guy from the international leagues or a top draft pick from the amateur draft. Instead, Crismatt…
The great sell-off will begin in the near future and players like Asdrubal Cabrera, Wilmer Flores, Todd Frazier and Jay Bruce may find themselves joining teams in the playoff hunt while the Mets continue to dive in the standings. While…
In my top 50 prospects piece published prior to the 2018 season, Walter Rasquin was ranked 30th. Primarily a 2B, Rasquin had a fine season for Brooklyn in 2017, as he put up a .300/.341/.407 line in 265 PA. Now,…

At the age of 26 the left handed utility player, Jeff McNeil, is not what most people would identify as a “prospect”. The Mets originally signed McNeil in 2013 out of Long Beach State. The second baseman, at the time,…
With how often I fawn over a certain first base prospect, you might forget that I ranked Andres Gimenez #1 overall in the Met system. You might also forget this because my mentions of the young shortstop have been few…
The Mets top pick from the 2017 draft was a big bodied lefty with a low 90s fastball named David Peterson. Met fans saw very little of him in his first season of minor league ball with the Mets only…
When Travis d’Arnaud was injured and wound up out for the season, few people were surprised. The timing could not have been worse for the Mets who lost Kevin Plawecki to another injury and have not gotten him back as…
