Many of this week’s standout players in the Mets organization were guys who had been struggling to begin the season. Ryan Clifford, Ronny Mauricio and Randy Guzman are a few of the bats who really turned it on this week. They helped Syracuse and St. Lucie to series wins, while Binghamton and Brooklyn are still looking to find their footing early on. Triple-A Syracuse The Syracuse Mets were...
Ryan Clifford led the Double-A Eastern League in home runs last year with 24 and hit five more at Triple-A Syracuse. But the No. 4 Mets prospect on MLB Pipeline hadn’t gone deep in his first 17 games and 64 plate appearances with Triple-A Syracuse this season. That ended Saturday. He connected in both ends of a doubleheader sweep of Scranton. Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders...
Elian Peña started off 0-for-26 last season in the Dominican Summer League before finding his footing. This year, he is hot from the get-go.

Peña is 9-for-24 with a home run and three doubles in six games (1.069 OPS). He is also 3-for-3 stealing bases. Triple-A...
Juan Soto’s early-season injury has raised an important question: Which position players are in line for promotions when the Mets call on their minor league depth in 2o26? It’s not a fun topic, but it’s a necessary one. For pitching depth, it’s pretty clear. There are a handful of starters on call in Syracuse, and the same goes for the relievers. For the hitting depth,...
Jonah Tong started his season with Triple-A Syracuse on Friday the same way he finished it last year: with a scoreless performance. The 22-year-old tossed four innings (one hit, two walks, four strikeouts) to help the Mets to a 3-1 road victory over Worcester on Opening Day at Polar Park. He threw 42 of 73 pitches for strikes. Ronny Mauricio stole a base and scored a run. Syracuse will play...
Spring training is right around the corner and the New York Mets’ Opening Day roster will begin to take shape. Multiple positions are still up for grabs and with Francisco Lindor undergoing hamate surgery it is possible some of the team’s infield depth could be tested early on in the season. Major League Starters Bo Bichette (3B) Age: 27 Contract: 3 years, $126 million, with two opt...
The Mets have left flexibility for their prospects to earn at-bats in the majors in 2026, and here we will dive into four Mets prospects who could debut in 2026. Carson Benge 2025 minor league stats: 519 PA, .281/.385/.472/.857, 15 HRs, 73 RBIs, 22 SBs Carson Benge is the clear starting point here, as president of baseball operations David Stearns has repeatedly said he will have the opportunity...
A bullpen is always extremely difficult to project entering a season. As it stands now, the New York Mets only have four pitchers who should be looked upon as “locks” to make up the unit on Opening Day. Of course, for one of those four A.J. Minter is still a question due to rehabbing an injury. Regardless, there are still going to be spots up to grab throughout sprinting training....
