OT: Mets 2026 Season Thread

[Toddwills00]

What an underwhelming haul of prospects. Are we not eating any money this year?

Stearns should've been fired in June. The team was terrible because of Stearns. Waiting for the trade deadline or end of season makes it worse. Cohen not signing Alonso and not even really caring about it is unforgivable.

Agreed this return seems really light but can't compare the markets at different deadlines. My least favorite deal so far. Spikerman not a fan of. Arm is ok.

So- as of this time- not counting RP...The Met's have a 2027 roster of Holmes, McLean, Scott, Thorton as their top 4...And there is a chance that could workout.
On the Field- Soto/Benge/Ewing in the OF. Semien at 2B, Lindor at SS most likely Bichette at 3B and Alveraz at C.

Only Sot and Lindor can be counter on for their back of the baseball card numbers if they are not injured.

I love how Benge and Ewing play but you never know what year 2 brings and neither of them look to be the level that are franchise faces such as players like Wright, Reyes, Strawberry etc...

We know that Semien is fading fast, Bichette is a decent hitter that cant field, no corner IF power and no speed. Alveraz- if healthy, he can hit but cant field. But he is injured all the time.

So- what the heck is the plan going forward? We do not have a savior in our minor league system.

Can Cohen really trust Stearns to be the guy...Or is he, as my gut is telling me- just the guy that protects Cohen for the lockout that is coming up in 2027.

Mets' 2025 first-rounder arrived at Double-A this week ... and he's already on a tear

Before Mitch Voit was able to make his Double-A Binghamton debut, there was rain. Tuesday's contest was postponed, delaying the first appearance in the upper Minors for the Mets’ No. 5 prospect by 24 hours. But once he strode into the box as the Rumble Ponies’ new leadoff hitter Wednesday,

Pirates sending a SS Sammy Stafura back to the Mets who is number 9 in their system, reportedly will be top 5 in Mets system.

The ranking is probably too low. It is likely based on his preseason evaluation. At age 21, he has been destroying High-A. OPS 1.021!
