On Thursday, former major league general manager Jim Bowden published his first top 50 prospect rankings since the end of the 2019 season for The Athletic.

The Mets and Yankees were represented on his list. Indeed, Bowden feels pretty good about the top prospects in both organizations. He also really likes one that got away.
Here’s where he ranked the Mets and Yankees’ top prospects, and what he had to say about each of them.
