Who are the best prospects in the Mets organization?

The future has plenty of question marks for the New York Mets organization, starting with the front office and trickling down to the manager and players on the roster next season.

On Monday, Baseball America dropped their rankings of the top ten prospects in the Mets organization. How does the future look for the Mets?

We previously discussed Ronny Mauricio, the top shortstop prospect in the system. With Francisco Lindor signed for the next decade, what is Mauricio’s future with the organization?

One name missing from previous lists from BA is Pete Crow-Armstrong; the Mets traded the young centerfielder to the Chicago Cubs for Javier Baez at the deadline.

Here’s how Baseball America ranked the Mets’ top ten prospects at the close of the 2021 baseball year. What do you think?
