We’re going to try something new this year with the top prospect list. There are still 50 names but instead of trying to put them in a ranked order, they will be grouped in levels and listed alphabetically. All prospect lists are a snapshot in time. Just because Player X is in one group in [...]
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 [...]
Earlier this week, Baseball America released its annual Top 100 prospects list, and the New York Mets had three players appear in the rankings. Mets top prospect catcher Francisco Alvarez (No. 13), third baseman Brett Baty (No. 39) and shortstop Ronny Mauricio (No. 92) all appeared in the rankings. The consensus has been for a [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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. [...]
