Good Morning. Happy Birthday Daryl Boston. More talk on Pete Alonso, Mike Puma gives thoughts behind Mets 2025 rotation and Prospects1500 has their Top 50 Mets Prospect List.
Section Links: Mets Links, MLB Links, Winter Baseball, and This Day in Mets History.
Mike Puma NY Post Sports+: Can the Mets’ depth of rotation talent make up for their lack of an unquestioned ace? "For a team that came within two victories of reaching the World Series last season the natural inclination might have been to splurge on an ace with the idea that was the missing piece. But Stearns and team owner Steve Cohen have been steadfast in preaching the importance of sustainability over instant gratification." (Subscription Required)
Prospects1500 released their New York Mets Top 50 Prospects (2025) List. They have 1. Jett Williams, SS; 2. Brandon Sproat, RHP; 3. Drew Gilbert, OF; 4. Luisangel Acuña, SS/OF; and 5. Ronny Mauricio, SS/OF;
Anthony DiComo Mets.com: A bold prediction, prospect to watch and more for 2025 Mets Anthony predicts the Mets will win the NL East, Pete Alonso is still the perfect free agent fit, Francisco Alvarez is a potential breakout star and that Brandon Sproat is the prospect to watch saying "...if he gets off to a nice start [at AAA], it wouldn’t be shocking to see Sproat debut early in the season...With a triple-digit fastball, Sproat (Mets' No. 1 prospect) boasts an even higher ceiling than Christian Scott..."

Regarding Alonso, this is classic Boras: get the preferred team with the best offer to make a take-it-or-leave-it pitch, shop it around, then circle back to push that team to budge enough to seal a deal. It’s how he used to play the Yankees. Now it’s the Mets.
