The Minor League season is winding down and I’ve started work on my Top 50 Met prospect list for the offseason but the Mets are keeping things interesting with some late season promotions. Typically you’ll see teams trying to give…
A 20-year-old shortstop playing in AA-Binghamton and managing an OPS around .700 is nothing to sneeze at. Though top prospects should not be hammering out paltry .241/.305/.378 batting lines either. When we began the year, people had Andres Gimenez and…
A lot has been written about the Mets draft. The Mets were able to manipulate their money so as to sign three (3) first round talents in their first three rounds of the 2019 draft. While much has been written…
Barring the fielding goofs, people should be fairly pleased with the season they’ve gotten from Pete Alonso in 2019. He came up to the majors and seems intent on winning a Rookie of the Year award amidst a field of…
We started talking about Wagner Lagrange in 2017 when he was part of an offensive juggernaut in Kingsport. The outfielder who had succeeded in the DSL in 2015 had struggled through a GCL debut in 2016 before breaking out. In…
About a month ago the Mets360 podcast host asked me for a “Crazy Prediction.” My “Crazy Prediction” was that Andres Gimenez would fall out of the Top 5 Met prospects by the start of the 2020 season. This was, in…

Brodie Van Wagenen has not been particularly lucky as Met General Manager but he’s also done much to hinder himself. Looking at selling off players, once again we are left to wonder what our future might look like without the…
With Jared Kelenic and Justin Dunn playing in the All Star Futures game while Robinson Cano and Edwin Diaz look like a pair of boobie prizes it might make a Met fan feel rather grim about the future of their…
The Mets signed Ali Sanchez almost exactly six years ago. The, then, 16 year old was signed alongside Luis Silva and Yeffry De Aza. Baseball America’s Ben Badler wrote in 2013: Sanchez, 16, is 6 feet, 180 pounds with good…
MLB.com currently ranks Thomas Szapucki in their Top 10 Met prospects, but at 23 years of age and pitching another injury shortened season in Columbia one might question if this left-handed pitcher even belongs being ranked that high. Consider that…
At 17 years of age Freddy Valdez measures 6’3 and is listed at 212 pounds. The outfield prospect, who ranked 25th among international free agents in 2018, was signed for $1.45 million alongside Francisco Alvarez ($2.7). The righty is not…
