Good Morning. Born today John Milner. Happy Birthday Ray Knight and Benny Agbayani. SNY looks at Jett Williams, Luis Moreno throws in Winter Ball and more on Lucas Giolito.
Section Links: Mets Links, MLB Links, Winter Baseball, and This Day in Mets History.
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."
On @Honda SportsNite, @mmargaux8, @AnthonyMcCarron & @John_Jastremski play Something or Nothing, discussing the Mets' interest in Lucas Giolito, the Thunder's efficiency vs. the Knicks tonight, and Jacob Trouba leaving tonight due to injury for the Rangers https://t.co/Y4m6P40O7O pic.twitter.com/Yx8oKg4vkg

- Mets among most improved farm systems in 2023
- End-of-year reflections and 2024 predictions for the Mets - Anthony DiComo thinks the 2024 Mets will be better than the 2023 Mets and has this to say about Mike Vasil "he still profiles as the pitching prospect most likely to make a significant impact in 2024. With a strong spring, he could position himself to debut during the first half of the season."
