Mets Add Ronny Mauricio To 60-Player Pool

By Connor Byrne | August 17, 2020 at 5:28pm CDT

The Mets have added infield prospect Ronny Mauricio to their 60-man player pool and placed catcher Rene Rivera on the 45-day injured list, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com tweets. Rivera’s dealing with a hyperextended left elbow.

Mauricio is still just 19 years old and hasn’t played above the Single-A level, so he remains a ways off from the majors. Regardless, not only does he rate as one the Mets’ top farmhands, but one of the game’s best prospects in general. For example, Baseball America places Mauricio at No. 70 overall and writes he has the ceiling of a “classic power-hitting corner infielder.”

Mauricio is now the third Mets prospect to join their player pool since Saturday, following catcher Francisco Alvarez and right-hander Matthew Allan. As MLBTR’s Mark Polishuk noted then, only players in teams’ pools are eligible to be traded prior to the Aug. 31 deadline. That obviously doesn’t mean the Mets are going to move any of these players (Mauricio would be especially tough to pry away), but the option is there if an enticing enough offer comes along. In all likelihood, though, the Mets added the three for developmental purposes.

    I’d guess beyond on-field development, the Mets want to ensure he progresses as expected with his strength and conditioning. 6’3” and weighing around 165lb means he will need to add “good weight” and hopefully this helps further his development.

      Either that or trade bait for Jay Bruce.

        Jay Bruce is a DH at Best & Makes Dave Kingman Look like Willie Mays

    If the Tribe want to trade Lindor at the deadline next season Ronny Mauricio, Andres Gimenez, and Matthew Allen or David Peterson would all have to be in all trade talks if I’m Cleveland. I know the Indians really like Jeff McNeil a lot also. The Mets have been really hesitant to trade him though & I don’t blame them.

    @king beas- My lst thought was the Mets being able to sign Lindor to an extension lst for 10 years, $365 million. The Indians are not taking Amed Rosario or Brett Baty back. They will want the 18 year old catcher Francisco Alavarez, Matthew Allan, and either Ronny Mauricio or Andres Gimenez. Lindor would be perfect for the Mets.
