The Syracuse Mets, the organization’s Triple-A affiliate, have announced their Opening Day roster ahead of their first game of the season in Worcester tomorrow afternoon in Worcester. The 28-man roster includes Brandon Sproat, the Mets’ top prospect in our rankings at Amazin’ Avenue this year, and nineteen players with major league experience.
Joining Sproat in returning to Syracuse to start the season are fellow pitchers Blade Tidwell and Dom Hamel. All three prospects struggled in their time at the Triple-A level last year and have yet to make their major league debuts.
Drew Gilbert, who suffered a hamstring injury early in the 2024 season in Syracuse and missed several months before returning, was placed on the 7-day injured list to begin the season along with a few other players: infielders JT Schwartz and Jared Young, pitchers Yacksel Ríos and Oliver Ortega, and fellow outfielder Rafael Ortega.
