Good morning, Mets fans!
While the Mets have continued their rocky play at the major league level, let’s take a look at the minor league level for a bright spot.
On Wednesday, the MLB announced the participants in this year’s Future Games during All-Star weekend in Philadelphia, including Mets first base prospect Ryan Clifford. Despite an underwhelming slash line for the 22-year-old in 2026, the Mets’ second-ranked prospect on MLB.com holds some of the best raw power metrics in Triple-A this season. Clifford will be able to show off that power on the big stage and hopefully gain some momentum for the rest of his season in Triple-A Syracuse.
The MLB Futures Game will be held at Citizens Bank Park on July 12th at noon ET.
