Ahead of the Mets’ Wild Card Series opener on Friday night at Citi Field against the Padres, top prospect Francisco Alvarez made some headlines. And it’s not because of anything he particularly did — it’s just by his mere presence.
The 20-year-old is making Mets history by being the youngest player on New York’s postseason roster, as reported by Andy Martino of SNY:
Francisco Alvarez will make Mets wild card roster per source

This kind of decision is going to make waves throughout #MetsTwitter and for good reason.
