Mets Send Brandon Sproat, 12 Others To Minor-League Camp
15 seconds agoThe New York Mets reassigned right-handed pitching prospect Brandon Sproat, the team's top prospect per MLB Pipeline, to minor-league camp on Tuesday. In addition to Sproat, the Mets also reassigned right-handers Ty Adcock, Adbert Alzolay, Dom Hamel (No. 26), Oliver Ortega and Blade Tidwell (No. 16), infielders Ryan Clifford (No. 4), Luke Ritter and Jett Williams (No. 2), outfielders Drew Gilbert (No. 11), Rafael Ortega and Alex Ramirez, and catcher Kevin Parada. Sproat is expected to make his big-league debut with the Mets in 2025, but even with left-hander Sean Manaea (oblique) and right-hander Frankie Montas (lat) opening the year on the injured list, he will start at Triple-A Syracuse. In his Grapefruit League debut last Friday against the Nationals, Sproat tossed two scoreless innings with a strikeout. The 24-year-old is old for a prospect, but his fastball-changeup combo and strikeout upside make him stash-worthy in NL-only leagues.
