The Mets - Same crap as the last crap

[packs]

Kind fo a weird trade for the Mets with Lindor under contract for so long. They also haven't gotten to Mauricio yet, though I guess he plays some 2B too and they just drafted shortstop Jett Williams in the first round in 2022.

Sad to see Canha go, but nice to pick up a halfway decent pitching prospect from Milwaukee in Justin Jarvis. Thought it was very telling that Jarvis was the Brewers' 30th highest prospect, but will be the Mets' 13th highest. Shows how weak their farm system is, now that they've called up 3 of their top guys (Alvarez, Baty and Vientos).

And let's face it, the Mets need young pitchers.

Heck, the 23 year old, half-baked Jarvis may already be as good as Carrasco.

JV back to the Astros. Curious to see what the return is....

Supposedly Mets get 22 year-old outfield Drew Gilbert, Houston's # 1 prospect (but only 68th highest in MLB), plus one other prospect.

I actually think the other prospect is the jewel of the trade. Ryan Clifford has a lot going for him.

Are either of these guys rated as highly as the younger Acuña?

I would guess that both Gilbert and Clifford are more impactful than Acuna. Acuna is blocked by Lindor and then blocked again by Mauricio. I'm not really sure what the Mets interest in him is.
