From May 17th to May 29th an injury plagued Mets team looked to Khalil Lee for outfield support, hoping their newly acquired outfield prospect could make good on his potential and give the Mets some spark. The .056/.056/.111 batting line does very little to demonstrate anything of promise and Met fans were undoubtedly disappointed. The [...]
The Mets of 2021 no longer appear to be a playoff team. Those hopes of getting healthy and on a roll in time for a playoff run appear to be for naught and the minor leagues are currently without two players previously ranked in the Top 10. The Mets Minors column at Mets360 is usually [...]
The Mets did two things in very opposite directions at the trade deadline that have severe negative impacts on the status of their farm system. First, the Mets made a trade to try to win in 2021 sending Pete Crow-Armstrong to the cubs in exchange for a Javier Baez rental and some starting pitching depth. [...]
The Mets have added Rich Hill to a healthy rotation that boasts Marcus Stroman, Taijuan Walker and Tylor Megill. Add to this that they are days from seeing Carlos Carrasco make his Mets debut and that Jacob deGrom could return soon as well and you wonder, might the Mets not “need” to make any move [...]
#10, Kumar Rocker, 21, RHP - Vanderbilt The Amateur draft began Sunday night and, unsurprisingly, Jack Leiter fell off the board before the Mets were close to making their selection.

Outside of [...]
The Mets promoted their Top Prospect (depending on rankings) from Low to Advanced A on May 25th placing their 19 year old catching prospect, Francisco Alvarez, in their most talented lineup with Ronny Mauricio, Brett Baty, Adrian Hernandez and Luke Ritter. Alvarez had been destroying the pitchers in Florida and had quickly proved himself more [...]

It’s been over a year since we’ve seen regular season minor league baseball and it returns like a long missed friend. With the Mets big league club failing to play with offensive consistency and the early returns on the Francisco Lindor trade looking dismal, it feels like the minor leagues can be a good source [...]

Mets360 will be taking the opportunity to look at some of the prospects in the upcoming amateur draft. With the Mets top three selections landing 10th overall, 46th overall [...]
It feels like March of 2020 never ended. There are memories of setting up preseason tracking documents and making predictions and then there is this long empty space where the minor league season was supposed to be and we’re right back to March. Only this March is looking to be different. This March we have [...]
With the condensed minor league system going into 2021 and having lost out on the 2020 minor league season, the lowest level of full season baseball should be stacked with talent. Fourteen of the Mets Top 30 Prospects could find themselves starting their 2021 season playing for the St. Lucie Mets. The old saying goes, [...]
