TL;DR Summary
The New York Mets have optioned their top prospect, Francisco Álvarez, to Triple-A Syracuse, effectively ending his chances of making the Opening Day roster. Despite performing well defensively, Álvarez struggled offensively during the Grapefruit League, batting just .107/.194/.107 in 14 games. The Mets plan to platoon catchers Omar Narváez and Tomás Nido to start the season, with Álvarez potentially becoming an option later in the year.
