3 Mets players who survived the trade deadline but will get dealt this offseason

2) Alex Ramirez

Alex Ramirez was thought to be one of the more obvious candidates to get traded at the end of July. His presence on the 40-man roster and lack of closeness to having a major league impact will have the Mets eager to move him this offseason. He didn’t play well last year and after a hot start to begin this season, Ramirez has cooled off considerably in Double-A.

Ramirez doesn’t turn 22 until next January which should catch the attention of several sellers looking to give up MLB pieces for young prospects. Ramirez has shown off his speed this year, swiping over 30 bases for the first time in his professional career. His bat hasn’t done much at all. He’s probably going to finish close to the .221/.310/.317 he batted last year in High-A.

Similar to how Baty was passed by Vientos, Ramirez has fallen way behind other Mets prospects as a centerpiece in the outfield of the future. Jett Williams, Luisangel Acuna, and Drew Gilbert are all far better outfield prospects. Carson Benge, the team’s first round pick this year, should quickly join the group ahead of Ramirez.

The most unfortunate part of Ramirez’s fall is that he was considered a top 100 prospect right before the 2023 season began. A guy who hit his wall way too soon, the Mets can’t wait for all value to evaporate.
