One of two selections in the first round of the 2022 MLB Draft, Kevin Parada was considered one of the best hitting prospects in last year’s class. When he fell to the Mets at the No. 11 overall pick, the team got a bargain in selecting him – Baseball America rated his as the sixth-best [...]
When the Mets added Gary Sanchez 10 days ago, David Groveman reached out to me and was supportive of the move, figuring that the Mets weren’t using Francisco Alvarez properly and that they could send him back down and install Sanchez as the club’s primary catcher.
