The New York Mets have taken one step closer to having top prospect Francisco Alvarez join the big club. We don’t want to get ahead of ourselves too much, but promotion from Double-A to Triple-A is undoubtedly the right trajectory. The Syracuse Mets made the official announcement on the team’s Twitter account this afternoon.
We're excited to officially announce that top prospect Francisco Álvarez has been promoted to the Syracuse Mets from the @RumblePoniesBB! At Binghamton, he hit .277 with 47 RBIs, 18 home runs, and a .921 OPS. Francisco, welcome to Syracuse!
