Mets Farm System Gets National Attention

January 22, 2017

Keith Law of ESPN released his farm system report and the Mets shined with a #7 ranking. Despite the Michael Fulmer trade and the promotions of Conforto, Nimmo, Rivera, Gsellman and Lugo, there is still a ton of value in the system. Michael Mayer of Metsminor.net joins Mike Silva to talk about this ranking. Michael gives comps to top prospects Amed Rosario and Dominic Smith. Hear his thoughts on how the Mets have fared in the international market. Can young arms like Justin Dunn and Thomas Szapucki allow the Mets to absorb losses to their young rotation? Finally, are there value arms in the system that will allow Sandy Alderson to pass on veterans Jerry Blevins and Fernando Salas in the free agent market? Michael and Silva address all this and more in the latest farm report.
