The other 2 weren't good enough to merit a September call up. Expand I actually can't tell which of these is which. Personally, I'd say let Quero up to start the year, I see no problem with that. I would put Schultz on something like the setup that Skenes threw last year, conserve his arm in AAA for a month or two then let him in the big leagues. Smith, I dunno, maybe next year a debut late in the season? See what he does? He's thrown 70, 70, and 90 innings in recent years, so pushing his arm up into the low to mid 100s isn't unreasonable.

Everything would have had to go really right for him to live up to that draft slot. Expand Well sadly...it did not go right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minor league teams mostly draw fans with no stars to draw the customers. This team can bring up two or more of their top-tier prospects. They can sign some affordable over-the-hill additions like Veeck did with the 1977 team. It's not me I'm worried about. It's the kids who will find something else to keep them busy. No fans...no game eventually. Expand Bringing up Quero and Montgomery to start the season...is that enough to make them watchable again? Maybe...? Then they have the Schultz and Smith debuts in the next calendar year, but that's about it unless they luck out with the 1-1 pick in 2026. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestEddy Posted December 10, 2024 Share Posted December 10, 2024 Source: The #Mets are in early talks with the #WhiteSox for a Garrett Crochet deal. Nothing is close, but packages are being exchanged, with any deal expected to include multiple top 5 prospects and more. The #Phillies, #Yankees, and #Rangers are among the other interested teams. — MLBScoops (@mlb_scoops) December 10, 2024 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Yankees aren’t dealing Dominguez, screw ‘em. And there’s no position prospect very enticing in the Mets farm system. They mostly had garbage years like you said. Let these two teams force a bidding war and possibly up the ante for other teams with better prospects.
