The second half of the 2026 season has to be all about evaluation for the New York Mets. It's up to Lavender, Yan, and every other prospect who gets a chance with the major league team to treat these next few months like an audition. Here are three more prospects the Mets must audition before the season is up. He currently ranks outside of the Mets' top 30 prospects, but he's arguably closer to a chance at the majors than any of the other prospects the Mets acquired at the deadline. Jonathan Santucci, LHPSantucci may very well be the next pitching prospect in line to be called up to the major leagues.
