Sam Haggerty made it to the big leagues

Sam Haggerty was acquired by the Mets as the secondary piece of the Kevin Plawecki trade last offseason. A 24th round pick of the 2015 draft by the Indians, Haggerty spent three seasons fighting his way through the lower minors before finally making his way up to Triple-A briefly last year.

The 25-year-old has never been considered much of a prospect, but does bring unique speed and versatility at multiple positions. That said, Fangraphs ranked him as the 19th-best prospect in the Mets’ system last offseason, which may say more about the depth of the Mets’ system than it does about anything else.
