The Mets will have to acquire free agents and make meaningful trades to reconstruct the 2025 roster. Luisangel Acuna, Drew Gilbert and Brandon Sprout could play roles in 2025. Also, let's not forget Ronny Mauricio who could be the icing-on-the-cake provided he can be in playing shape in time for spring training. As for pitching, I'm against signing Sean Manaea for multiple years (ala the Phillies with Taijuan Walker). I'm for keeping Luis Severino for 1 or 2 years but we need at least one front-end starting pitcher (2 would be nice) to compliment Kodai Senga. I'll have faith that Davis Stearns will work his magic in reconstructing the pitching staff. LGM!!!
@@DaveOriginallyfromBrooklyn the Mets have a setup man Dedneil Nunez is capable of being the set up man for Diaz…what the Mets need is a high leverage Lefty…Tanner Scott or Andrew Chafin would be phenomenal…it’s still early in the offseason Cohen and Stearns are gonna build a juggernaut before Christmas…
I agree, but I don't trust Severino with barely over 100 IP since 2019 though he's likely to take QO. I don't want Manaea bc he hit a wall with the new arm slot in the playoffs, so he could only pitch 3 months. The Mets could really use one of the prospects Sproat and/or AAAA starters with their time in the pitching labs. I worry that Stearns see megill as a starter & buy for mid tier starters over that ace & there should be a real concern about Senga for health. Clifford needs to break out by 2016 if they DON'T sign Alonso. Even if they sign Soto. I think in many ways Pete is more valuable to the Mets because of his ability to pick it, run production & worth that 7th year. His heroics in the playoffs are why having a home groan break every offensive stat for the Mets, imho.
Manaea’s career ERA is 4.00, not even a whole run off from what he did this year. He’s a proven average to above average pitcher. Walker just had one bad year. I’d say give him 2 years, 3 max if the price is right. Worst that can happen with him is he’ll have a mediocre year.
The last team to win the World Championship in 1986 was a mixture of guys from the farm and key trades:Straw,Doc,Darling,Dykstra,Backman,Mookie,Mitchell,McDowell,Orosco then trades: Hernandez,Carter,Knight,Hojo,,Ojeda,Teuful
I would like to see the Mets swing a deal with the Mariners. Their farm system is loaded with pitching talent. Jeff McNeil paired with one of your promising young catchers, could land you some AA arms that could crack the roster by the end of the year or next year.
@@cooldude7821 I don't know if it's bluster, but their GM, Jerry Dipoto has said publicly that he doesn't plan on trading any of his starters. They have a stocked farm system though.Two names that really intrigue me are AA lefty Brandyn Garcia and righty Cole Phillips. Garcia started out in the bullpen but they converted him into a starter. His numbers last year were great.
@@cooldude7821 I'd like to see them go after Roki Sasaki or Tomoyki Sugano. Everyone knows how talented Sasaki is, but Sugano is a seasoned veteran with a 6 pitch arsenal. This season he posted a 176 era. He is a little older 35, but the Mets had no problem signing Scherzer and Verlander. Best of all, they won't cost you draft picks.
@@fr2ncm9 Yep. If Sasaki was 25 years old. We'd probably be able to blow everyone out the water. But him being 23, he's gonna end up in California somewhere. I'm thinking they might go the trade route for a pitcher. Crochet maybe. We have prospects to spare for the 1st time in probably a decade.
Brett Batty still getting mentioned is a shocker considering all of the Mets prospects we have. Mauricio, Acuña, Jett Williams, Gilbert. I’m sure more which I don’t even know of. Btw can you touch on players on the Mets farm system who are playing Fall ball both in Arizona and abroad in Dominican Republic? Thanks
@@emiliothepoet a key prospect in the system who I look at as untouchable with few natural power hitters is Ryan Clifford. Probably Pete’s replacement if they don’t sign him. He could be manning 1B/LF by 2026 at the earliest, but definitely going to be a downgrade around the bag which is why they need Pete back. Clifford, Reimer (also in the fall league) & Houck are the 3 bats who I will be watching the most. On the pitching front, obviously sproat, Scott won’t play after late season TJ. Total mismanagement & use of this kid. He would have had a better chance for the Mets to win than megill & houser. They also could have evaluated if he needed surgery EARLIER & he could have helped the team possibly by August. Tong another untouchable is probably the highest upside, Tidwell could crack the rotation probably no higher than a 3 or 4. McLean gets tossed around a bit, but more likely to be part of a trade package same for morabito to fatten a deal from the hitting side. Ziegler is a potential bullpen arm with some serious spin rate. Vasil is a swingman/spot starter at best. Not sure if hamel will even be a bullpen arm. Though, with the pitching labs/health everything is subject to change. I’m sure there’s definitely a few names that some people who like more & have much more knowledge than I do.
I hear ya on a lot of this Ryan I’m with ya. But we can’t have our young young kids playing bench. Then need to be playing daily. Either start or minors. Only one I can see in the bench is baty cuz he’s expendable at this point and if an injury happens that will be his last last shot. I am excited to see acuna in spring training to see how he does on a long term spot. I’d like to see him make the team. We saw a lot of promise but it was 2 weeks.
I agree that the young players need to be playing. It's not fair for them to sit. Baty is a has-been for over three seasons. Time to help Baty by trading him.
That’s a fair take. It would be disappointing for sure to see Mauricio/Acuña, etc. with the major league team but not getting regular playing time. It’ll be curious to see how they navigate that with their prospects.
@@christineg7888 He only played 11 games in 2022.In 2023 he struggled, but so did Vientos. This year, he only played 2 months. April was ok while May was bad. You can't judge a player on sporadic playing time.
@@SharonMclean-y8c I believe he can do it. He is a good fielder who can play multiple positions and he has some power. He would be an upgrade over any utilityman we currently have.
Ryan! Please stop trying to place Baty at third base. That ship has sailed. Baty has has too many chance but consistently has not stepped up. I truthfully believe is Luis Angel Acuna had not stepped up when Lindor was injured and produced as the Mets were fighting to make the playoffs in September, the Mets would not have made the playoffs. Yet, you dismiss him as being behind Baty as a player to earn first chance to make the roster in the Spring?? That’s incredulous! If the manager follows this line of thought, that would be a huge mistake. Mauricio did show ability when given a chance. This puts Baty behind minimally these players and in fact even Iglesias who also produced when given a chance! Baty is behind all these players because he has already been given chance after chance but failed . Please Ryan, it’s time to move on from Baty.
I believe that Mets fans got over-excited about Christian Scott. He did well in his first start in a game being umpired by one of the most pitcher friendly umpires in Major League Baseball. If you look at his starts after that, you will see that he did not have any overly impressive starts. Also, I recall that in that first start his velocity was in the vicinity of 97 mph. I also recall that in the early to middle innings that velocity tailed off. In all of his subsequent starts his velocity was well below that 97 mph. I think that he had a great first start because of a combination of adrenaline and a very picture friendly umpire. I don't think he's nearly as good as Mets fans hope he is.
Nimmo is NOT gonna be the everyday Center Fielder for this team…it’s a combination of Taylor,Acuna & Gilbert…Stearns and Cohen are not spending $$$ on CF this year
Ryan I respectfully disagree , I would flip/ flop and say Baty is running out of time . When Mauricio got hurt and lost time he was raking in winter ball
@nelsoncruz184 As the saying goes, "There's a reason for everything." Mauricio needs to be kept to give him his chance. When he did get to play, he was fun to watch. He may be our diamond in the rough.
@ diamond in the rough nope, There is substantial expectation that he will perform at a high degree on the MLB level. The knee injury postponed his future
Cannot have developing players rotting on the bench, that is literally considered a sin in the player development industry. Scouts will literally leave an origination that does that. If Acuna is not the starting 2B or starting CF then the will be at AAA playing everyday.
I think unlike you, they need to depend on their prospects. I like what they have. Doesn’t it make more sense to bring up some of these talented guys and make it part of the core of a team? But two or three days ago you were wanting to clean out the farm system for trades ; all do respect
He would certainly provide a boost to the rotation, even if the Mets bolster it with free agents/trades this offseason. He’s simply one of the best pitching prospects in the sport.
They needs to give the "kids" to play..At least Acuña 2B and Gilbert platoon with Taylor in CF, Vientos 3B or 1B and Alvarez C. Never again play Nimmo in CF, he has the "weakest" arm of all outfielders in the National League. Iglesias and Winker should be bench players..
You contradict yourself too much. Started out saying development isn't linear. After you write Baty off from having the career it was thought he would have. Next you say he might develop somewhere else. Well that a great way to not be wrong.
I think most fans have soured on him based his limited at bats this year. If you subtract his 1 for 22 stretch in May. He hit 286. Going 1 for 22 when you have only about 70 at bats will tank your BA.
Funny thing about Dom Smith is that he actually did figure it out.....then he decided to forget everything he figured out....😂. Lots of Baty discussion here .....too much for me..... discussing his versatility when he cant even hit at the big league level is somewhat comical.
He was coming out his helmet when he was shorting up just to make contact and get some mojo back. It was so painful. But he was pressing and he’s 22. He’ll grow up and hopefully listen to coaching and not try to fix a slump with one swing.
Yeah I think the big thing is that he’s still 22. Everyone raves about his work ethic and his desire to win and get better. There’ll be ups and downs with a young player like this but it’s not for a lack of effort. His future is still really bright.
@@DaveOriginallyfromBrooklyn Alvarez is 22years old and has already been up for 2 whole years he’s one of the youngest players in the MLB…he’s younger than most of the prospects the Mets have…and look around the majors there are not many catchers that produce with the bat…Catcher is the worst hitting position in baseball…Alvarez will be fine and the Catcher position is the least of the Mets worries…
A 229 BA for a rookie in his second season with very limited at bats is not terrible. He's always hit the hell out of the ball in the minors. I think they should give him a shot as a utility player because he's younger than McNeil and he has 20 homer power.
Brett baty? A quadruple a player. He’s been given tons of chances. He can’t play at mlb level. And second? He’s a lanky awkward guy. He can’t play second. Come on.
I don’t wanna see him in the Of either. It’s 3rd or nothing and we have enough kids that can play 3rd. Baty is trade bait. Pray he kills it in spring and first half and get a good return
He had a bad year in 2023. Maybe he wasn't ready then. This year, he played for only 2 months. If not for a horrid 1 for 22 slump, his BA would have had a 286 average.Don't believe me. Crunch the numbers. All you have to do is divide his hits into 131 at bats.
@ u can’t take out 22 AB bro lol. What about taking 22 hits. Then he’s at .086. Works that way too. Baseball is streaky. You have to count both ends highs and lows. That’s a true reflection of a player.
@@Standdividedfalltogether He has played less than one full year in 2023, and two months in 2024. I don't think you give up on him. There have been plenty of MLB players that struggled at first. He has tremdous upside.
@ I hear ya but we have so many other options. Hes had a few chances. If we can package him with someone else for a pitcher that be great. I like our other options in the IF right now. It’s not like we rolling an aged veteran out there. Veitnos is pretty good. And if he goes to first, we’re gonna have acuna adames maybe Mauricio and Jett Williams still here. There’s no room for Brett. But we could flip him for something we need.

So pitching with a damaged elbow had nothing to do with that.
If Acuna can steal 55-70 bases with the defensive glove you need to find out. Put him at 2nd and give him the same opportunity given Baty.
Arenado for McNeil straight up.
Acuna has to come through. If he does and can play the outfield, Nimmo can move to CF and solve the OF issue w/o spending.
