The New York Mets have turned their farm system into a talent pipeline. Unlike most teams who ship out prospects for established talent, the Mets have built their roster through the draft and international free agency.
The Mets have three everyday players who came from another organization—J.D. Davis, Wilson Ramos, and Robinson Cano. Even the pitching staff is almost all homegrown, if everyone was healthy only Rick Porcello and Michael Wacha would have come from outside.
The Mets currently have 17 homegrown players on their 28-man roster.
