The rookie leagues are already done; High-A wraps up this week, Double-A next week and Triple-A the week after that. It was a big August for many Mets minor leaguers on both sides of the game. Let’s go through who was the best...
Jonathan Santucci set a career-high in strikeouts, punching out 13 of the 17 batters he retired in Double-A Binghamton’s 7-3 loss Sunday to Akron.

On that...
It has been a strange season for MJ Melendez. There was a point during the Mets’ most extreme struggles where he was neck-and-neck with Juan Soto for the best OPS in the starting lineup. He’s since played so poorly that he’s no longer a mainstay in the lineup at all. His offensive production took such a downturn that his roster spot even started to come into question. But he...
