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. Álvarez is ranked as the third-best prospect in baseball by MLB Pipeline.
