Danny Abriano SNY.TV: Way too early Mets 26-man roster prediction for 2024 season. One of Danny's interesting predictions has the Mets adding "hard-throwing righty Ryne Stanek and the lefty Wandy Peralta to help form a bridge to Edwin Diaz."
Will Sammon The Athletic: How David Stearns (and rival scouts) see the Mets farm system. Jett Williams, Drew Gilbert and Luisangel Acuña get the top nods and..."Christian Scott is widely viewed in the industry as their best pitching prospect. With three-plus pitches — a strong upper-90s fastball he commands well, a slider with sweeper characteristics and a changeup with good break — it’s easy to understand why...'This is a really attractive stuff package,' Stearns said. 'It’s three very good pitches. It’s compete at a high level. It’s swing-and-miss stuff. All the things that you look for in potentially top-end starters, he has.'" (Subscription required).
Baseball America: Refining Defense Is Mets Catcher Kevin Parada’s Top Goal. "Framing and throwing were the two targeted areas of improvement for Parada, who signed for $5.019 million. He threw out just 28 of 157 base stealers (18%) in 2023." (Subscription required).
Baseball America: 2024 Top 100 Prospects: Jett Williams #30, Ronny Mauricio #87, and Drew Gilbert #91 make the list. (Subscription required).
Baseball America: 15 MLB Prospects Who Just Missed The 2024 Top 100. Luisangle Acuna and Ryan Clifford are highlighted along with "prospects who received at least one vote for the Top 100 from our prospect team: Christian Scott, Blade Tidwell, Colin Houck."(Subscription required).
SNY.TV: New York Mets reportedly among teams interested in RHP Robert Stephenson. "The 30-year-old [Stephenson] dominated after being traded from the Pittsburgh Pirates to the Tampa Bay Rays, posting a 2.35 ERA and striking out 60 batters across 38.1 innings of work. "
