1. SS Franklin Arias | 20 | AA | 2027

Arias signed for $525,000 as the second highest paid player in Boston’s 2023 international class. Today, that looks like money well invested. A right-handed hitter listed at 5’11” 170 lbs, Arias wasn’t as good in 2025 as he had been the year before, but he was facing much older competition and still managed a 108 wRC+ in 87 High-A games despite slashing .265/.329/.380. The plate skills were still elite: 8.2% walk rate against an 8.9% strikeout rate, so the organization waved him along to Double-A for a ten-game stretch at season’s end. He hits the ball hard enough. Just needs to add some loft and grow into some man-strength. 

Please, blog, may I have some more?

The Mets are set to recall RHP Brandon Sproat for his big league debut today. He had a rough start to his season in Triple-A but found his rhythm eventually. His season-long line still includes a 4.24 ERA and 1.24 WHIP through 25 starts, and he’s turned in a couple stinkers among his last four outings, but he had a dominant stretch from June 26 through August 7th, going 4-and-0 with a 2.49 ERA and 1.04 WHIP through 43.1 innings across nine starts. The Mets are a top-five organization when it comes to pitching, so I’d be betting we see more of good Sproat than struggling Sproat in his spot starts from here forward.

1. OF Roman Anthony | 20 | AAA | 2025

A left-handed hitter at 6’2” 200 lbs, Anthony slashed .291/.396/.498 with 18 home runs and 21 stolen bases in 119 games across the top two minor league levels in 2024, setting himself up to fight for a spot in spring training. He got just 35 games at Triple-A but slashed .344/.463/.519 there and doesn’t have anything left to prove in the minor leagues. Here’s a bit of what I wrote when I ranked him atop this list last season: 

“I’m just trying to say he’s a player in flux and reminds me a little of Ronald Acuña at this stage in the sense that he’s got more than one path ahead of him as a hitter and could become a total-package type who slashes .300/.400/.500 on the regular.”

So far so good on this one.
