Joe DeMayo SNY.TV: What to expect from Mets prospect Jett Williams in 2024. "In 2024, his goal is to make the major leagues, and you can bet against him at your own risk. Even if he does fall short of that goal, I would expect him to at least make it to the Triple-A level with a view toward a 2025 debut in Queens."
