Once a Met, Not a Met in 2023

[Cowtipper]

Here's how some former Mets prospects that we traded away are doing:



Ryder Ryan was traded to the Rangers for Todd Frazier in December 2020. He finally made his big league debut this year, appearing in a single game for the Mariners, striking out 2 in 1 inning of work. He was 4-2, 3.76 in 48 appearances for the Mariners' Triple-A club, as well.



Isaiah Greene and Josh Wolf, both former second round picks, were traded with Andres Gimenez and Amed Rosario for Francisco Lindor and Carlos Carrasco in early 2021. Greene hit .180 with 3 home runs and 19 RBI in 55 games at High-A, while Wolf was 6-4, 6.11 in 45 2/3 innings between two levels. I covered Gimenez already and will cover Rosario later.



The Mets shipped Endy Rodriguez to the Pirates in exchange for Joey Lucchesi in 2021. Rodriguez hit .268 with 6 home runs and 38 RBI in 67 games at Triple-A, and has hit .211 with 3 home runs and 11 RBI for Pittsburgh this year.



The Mets sent Josh Winckowski to the Red Sox in a three-team deal that netted them Khalil Lee. Winckowski has gone 4-3 with a 2.93 ERA in 57 games (1 start) for Boston this year.



The Mets traded Pedro Quintana to the Brewers for Billy McKinney in 2021. Quintana had a 3.86 ERA in 11 2/3 innings for the DSL Brewers in 2023.



The Mets traded Will Toffey to the Giants in 2021, receiving pitcher Anthony Banda. He was in the Phillies system in '23, but was hurt all year.



Matthew Dyer was shipped with Tommy Hunter to the Rays for Rich Hill in 2021. Dyer hit .254 with 3 home runs in 18 games between High-A and Double-A this year.



Pete Crow-Armstrong was sent to the Cubs for Javier Baez and Trevor Williams in 2021. He is hitless in 11 big league at-bats so far, but hit .283 with 20 home runs and 37 steals in 107 games split between Double-A and Triple-A.



Other odds and ends—major leaguers who were in the Mets minor league system in 2019, 2020 and 2021:

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

I love these updates.

[Edgy MD]

I guess the Epplerlog should begin and end with Darin Ruf and Tyler Naquin. Had they come within three or four miles of replacing Starling Marte, history might have been very different. Instead there's a strong argument that they actually made the team immediately worse than they would have been had those deals never been made.

[G-Fafif]

Tim Bogar, Gary Disarcina and Eric Young Jr. among the coaches the Nats will not be bringing back.

[G-Fafif]

Max Scherzer seems happy.
