I'm sure Jarred Kelenic has been mentioned in this thread somewhere.

And he's in the news this week because, after spending most of the 2025 season on the Braves' AAA team, and not doing well there or in the majors,

he was outrighted to the minors by the Braves and has chosen to become a Free Agent.

w/Braves this season: 65 PA, 10-for-60 w/two 2Bs & two HRs plus 5 BB/23 K [.167/.231/.300 // 531]

w/AAA Gwinett: .not a lot better 213/.286/.309 even with a much bigger sample size [399 PA]

Sometimes the expected path must never materializes.

- 6th overall draft pick in 2018

- traded just six months later in the Diaz/Cano deal (formerly the Cano/Diaz deal)

- immediately shines in Mariners system jumping from mid-60-ish prospect status (pre-2019) to top-10 (pre-2020) then top-5 (pre-2021)

- ML debut in May of '21 still just 21 y/o and was given regular playing time (377 PA) though not much success

- ditto in '22 although with less playing time

- '23 seemed to maybe be a breakout year (400+ AB / 111 OPS+) for a guy still young, but it wasn't going to be w/Seattle following an off-season trade to the Braves

It was at this point where I figured the Braves, at worst, got themselves a good platoon OF'er and maybe a rising star.

But an 679/87 OPS/OPS+ despite another season of 400+ ABs just didn't cut it and he both regressed and barely played in '25

Now he's job seeking and anything better than a split contract w/a ST invite seems like an overly optimistic scenario for the just-turned 26 y/o

[Cowtipper]

I thought he was going to be the loss we'd regret the most, but since he's tanked so far, I think we can say the Mets actually won that trade. He wasn't just being hyped as a top prospect back in the day, but as an uber prospect.

Justin Dunn, also a first rounder, didn't pan out. Gerson Bautista didn't do much. Anthony Swarzak didn't do much (anywhere). Jay Bruce fell apart even more after leaving the Mets. And now Kelenic is a letdown. Diaz, now six seasons (seven if you include his missed year) into his Mets tenure has given us a 2.93 ERA, 144 saves and 538 Ks in 328 1/3 innings. And Cano gave us a solid 2020, hitting .326 in that shortened campaign.

[Cowtipper]

I can't imagine there's too many Mets-linked individuals left to cover outside of random signees (from the DR, indy ball, etc.) but those are too plentiful to cover and it would be too time-consuming to cover them all. I'll keep plugging along, however.

Arturo Lopez, who played in the Mets system in 2009, pitched an inning for the Diablos Rojos del Mexico in 2025, allowing 2 hits but no runs.

[Cowtipper]

Since there's so few players left, I think I'll call this project done for now. If anyone catches any stragglers, let me know.
