I have been working on my batter scouting cards!

Jett Williams has been on fire with a 176 wRC+ at AA. He has an exceptional eye which he pairs with blistering speed to be the Mets most dynamic hitting prospect. Despite the smaller stature, there is some pop in that bat!

Luis Guevara, an infielder in the Baltimore Orioles’ minor league system, has died after being involved in a jet ski accident Sunday near Lido Key in Sarasota, FL, the team said Wednesday morning. He was 19.

SOURCES: New York Mets top international prospect for the 2026 class, 3B Josue Chacoa, will not sign after age falsification.

Sources tell me Chacoa was expected to sign for more than $2 million.

Typical league protocol is to suspend the player for one year.

Reminds me of the Marlins ace who died in a water accident. Sad.

Why cant we renegotiate with 3B Josue Chacoa... it not like we can say lets get the higher rated guy... those are committed... I am sure he still has the same talent we thought he had even if he is 1 2 or 3 years older

This has happened to the Mets each time for the last few years. Baptiste and i forget another name. Baptiste just got reactivated for this year.

Mack Ade said...

League rules for one year

Similar to Anthony Baptist.

I think that player was Raymel Ortiz, SS, MLB Pipeline's #26 ranked prospect that year. Don't know if he ever signed with another team.

Ortiz has not signed with another team , and is playing in a semi pro league in the D.R.

Mets very well could , but rumors are his stuff has backed up and isn’t the same prospect who got the $2.7M- $2.3-$2M bonus

Tom Brennan said...

Then, you do sign an Elian Peña for $5 million….everyone anticipates Thunder…but he Srar ts out 2 for 40, with 6 walks. While low bonus Josmir Reyesis hitting nearly .500 with one K in 37 PAs.
