One of the things I will be tracking on my second post of each month will be the Mets Top 20 prospect list and major movements within the Top 50 list. During the first month of the season the Mets have had some mixed results amongst their four tiers of full season minor league baseball. [...]
Some things are given as laws of reality that cannot be bent, broken or changed. The only sure things in life are death and taxes but you could lay out money fairly safely on Francisco Alvarez beginning and ending the year in the minors. The Mets have a high paid catcher and a suitable backup [...]
The Mets just made a significant move leading up to Spring Training and the 2022 season. They acquired Chris Bassit for J.T. Ginn, their #5 prospect and top rated pitching prospect as well as Adam Oller (ranked 24th overall by Mets360.com). Bassit immediately steps into the rotation with Jacob deGrom, Max Scherzer, Carlos Carrasco and [...]
I have a number of running spreadsheets for the Mets farm system that are all updated on a monthly basis with rankings and depth charts that are updated regularly. I use this document constantly, as I’m making my posts and while we are in the postseason we begin to see a healthy amount of speculation [...]
Baseball America’s Top 100: Baseball America, as would be expected, ranked the top three Mets prospects amongst their Top 100 once again. Francisco Alvarez comes in as the 13th best overall prospect with Brett Baty coming in at 39th and Ronny Mauricio falling all the way back to 92nd in the standings. Baseball Prospectus likes [...]
In exciting International Free Agent moves, Elian Soto (younger brother of Juan Soto) has a commitment to join the Mets in the upcoming IFA period. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. made some waves about this stating that Elian (at 15) is hitting the ball harder than his older brother did at the same age. This is obviously [...]
A New Top 10 Prospect The Mets and their new GM have been very busy over the last couple of days and the new additions of Max Scherzer, Starling Marte, Mark Canha and Eduardo Escobar stole the headlines but the acquisition of Nick Plummer should not be overlooked. The former first round draft pick (23rd [...]
The Mets appear to have ended their comically shameful search for a new GM after being seemingly turned down by every eligible candidate on the market. What made so many targets shun the Mets is still a matter for speculation but the Mets and the former Angels GM have come to terms and the saga [...]
The Mets are once again looking for a General Manager and a Manager as the offseason begins but that is not their biggest problem. The biggest problem the Mets have is that their payroll is bloated by $20 Million Dollar cheater. Sportrac suggests that the Mets have roughly $100.5 Million to spend this offseason to [...]
One of the things you get asked by a casual Met fan when you cover the minor leagues is more generally, “How is the farm system?” This is a loaded question but also a fair one. Casual Met fans don’t have time to deep dive into individual prospects and, while they might know some of [...]
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 [...]
