Santo                         @sn_5713

Juan Soto, Francisco Lindor, and Starling Marte all publicly advocate for the Mets to trade for Sandy Alcantara in this article. They say he will thrive in New York on a postseason team. Very telling article, I think Mets make big push for Sandy

 

Subway To Shea Podcast            @SubwayToShea

David Peterson’s final line:

6IP, 7H, 2ER, 0BB, 5K

Peterson was pretty good today. The 4th inning did him in but as always this offense has to step up!

 

MLB Pipeline                      @MLBPipeline

Brandon Sproat shows off his full repertoire for the Triple-A Syracuse Mets

The Mets' top prospect notches 6 K's on four different pitches, while navigating 4 1/3 one-run innings.

My guess is Joel Diaz will now be reinstated full-time in the rotation

Gary Seagren said...

Mack keep it coming great stuff. How about your minor league top 10.

Mack Ade said...

Great idea

Will add it to Tuesday's Observations post

Mack,
I would still ask that you, if there are no subscription requirements, reprint the Matt Allen draft article in-bedded in the Atlantic article "Twelve Mets Prospects to Watch" you have printed several times this week. I think the readers would enjoy it. Thanks!
I appreciate your weekly Observations, a ton of information to digest.
