The Mets’ farm system is deeper and more talented heading into 2024 thanks to last summer’s trades of Justin Verlander, Max Scherzer and others, according to MLB Pipeline, which released annual rankings today.

MLB Pipeline released their preseason top-100 prospect list on Jan. 26, which included four Mets prospects. Jett Williams headlined the group, finishing the highest among the bunch, while a certain Mets pitcher missed the mark on the list altogether. Meanwhile, Kevin Parada also missed the mark on the 2024 top-100 prospect list. The catcher from Georgia Tech was previously ranked No. 36 overall...
MLB Pipeline and Baseball America recently released their midseason updated farm system rankings, with the New York Mets ranking No. 11 and No. 14, respectively.

That’s in part because the Mets acquired their top two...

With Carlos Correa returning to the Minnesota Twins, the question now for the New York Mets is what they should do at third base in 2023. Eduardo Escobar was the 2022 Opening Day third baseman, before being shifted to a platoon with Luis Guillorme, and he seemed to seize the job again in September after hitting .321/385/.596/.982 in both September and October. However, it was obvious that the...
