While the New York Mets minor-league system features a handful of talented prospects, there aren’t many high-ceiling outfielders included within the pool of young players.
Heading into this year’s MLB Draft, the Mets only have two outfielders (Alexander Ramirez and Freddy Valdez) featured on their top-30 prospects list, according to MLB.com. Unfortunately, the team shipped off their best young cornerman to the Mariners after the 2018 campaign.
Nearly two years ago, general manager Brodie Van Wagenen traded away future superstar Jarred Kelenic in a seven-player deal that included Robinson Cano and Edwin Diaz.
