The New York Mets prized acquisition at last year’s trade deadline was Javier Báez. In that deal made on July 30th, New York sent prospect Pete Crow-Armstrong — who is now regarded by some as a top-100 prospect in baseball — to Chicago.

Per brand new rankings via Keith Law of The Athletic, the Mets have four top-100 prospects heading into the 2021 season. Francisco Alvarez was the highest at no. 19 (!), Ronny Mauricio slotted in at no. 32, Matthew Allan came in at no. 90, and Pete Crow-Armstrong came in at no. 94. The two surprises to me are how high Alvarez was and the fact Crow-Armstrong made the list. Alvarez got the highest...
