PostSportsPlus: What’s next for Brett Baty, Francisco Alvarez after transformative year for Mets farm system
As the Mets look toward restocking a farm system that has been regarded as top-heavy in recent seasons, their pipeline now includes outfielder Alex Ramirez andNot to be overlooked is that two of the minor league affiliates, Low-A St. Lucie and High-A Brooklyn, reached the playoffs this season.
It’s great for him to experience it. To hear people talk about what the big leagues is like, that’s nothing close to being the same as you seeing it for yourself and you seeing the pitchers andand saying, ‘OK, I belong here.’ I don’t think he was there [in the majors] enough to really develop as a player. I think he needs more time there.
How much do you think it helped Alvarez to catch elite pitchers in Jacob deGrom and Max Scherzer during their minor league rehab starts?Those guys are great about talking to Francisco, giving him feedback. He’s the type of kid who welcomes feedback. He wants it. He wants you to tell him what he’s doing wrong. He never looks at it as criticism or gets down on himself. I was in Hartford when Max threw to him.
If the Cardinals were to claim that spot, the Mets and Braves each would have to play in the wild-card round, regardless of who wins the NL East.Icon Sportswire via Getty Images
