Mets Option Luisangel Acuna To Triple-A
11 months agoThe New York Mets optioned infield prospect Luisangel Acuna and left-hander Kolton Ingram to Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday and reassigned outfielder Drew Gilbert, right-handers Eric Orze, Cam Robinson, Christian Scott and Mike Vasil, catcher Kevin Parada, infielder Jett Williams and left-hander Danny Young to minor-league camp. Acuna, 21, is one of the Mets' top prospects, but he will begin the 2024 season in the minors, as expected. He was the headliner in the deal with the Rangers last year that sent Max Scherzer to Texas. The Venezuelan infielder hit a combined .294/.359/.410 with nine home runs, 63 RBI, 57 stolen bases and 93 runs in 121 games with Double-A Binghamton and Double-A Frisco. If Acuna, one of the younger brothers of Ronald Acuna Jr., tears it up at Syracuse this year, he could make his MLB debut later this year.
