The Mets re-signed Ramirez to a minor-league contract Monday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ramirez was non-tendered by the Mets last month but will remain in the organization on a minor-league pact. The outfielder hasn't progressed as the Mets had hoped, most recently slashing just .210/.291/.299 in 2024 at Double-A Binghamton, but he'll turn just 22 in January.

The Mets non-tendered Ramirez on Friday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ramirez spent the entire 2024 regular season in Double-A Binghamton, slashing .210/.291/.299 with 39 stolen bases, five home runs and 46 RBI over 540 plate appearances. Ramirez will enter free agency and should garner interest from teams interested in developing the 21-year-old outfielder.

Ramirez was optioned to Double-A Binghamton by the Mets on Friday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ramirez was worthy of being added to the Mets' 40-man roster earlier this offseason but is still in need of plenty of development. The 21-year-old has loads of potential but hit just .223/.312/.319 at High-A Brooklyn in 2023.

Ramirez hasn't hit a home run for High-A Brooklyn since smashing two back on July 31, and he's hit just .250/.302/.325 across 28 games since then.

EDGE Analysis

After getting off to a cold start in High-A, Ramirez lit on fire for an 11-game span, smashing five homers while hitting .442/500/.837 in the second half of July. Unfortunately, those are the only five long balls he's hit through 48 High-A ballgames. That stretch buoyed his overall numbers at the level, which look respectable at .270/.326/.425 but would look pretty miserable without that two-week hot streak factored in.

Ramirez has gone just 5-for-28 (.179) with three doubles and a triple since being promoted to High-A Brooklyn.

EDGE Analysis

Ramirez performed pretty well overall at Single-A St. Lucie before moving up, albeit not without some caveats -- while he posted a .284/.359/.443 batting line with six homers and 17 steals, the 19-year-old benefited from a .357 BABIP and was caught stealing nine times. That line also looks a lot worse when you factor in that he opened 2022 on fire, batting .353 with a .916 OPS through the first 36 games of the season; Ramirez has hit .192 with a .648 OPS in his last 38 games spanning Single-A and High-A.

Ramirez went 3-for-5 with a double, two runs scored and a stolen base for Single-A St. Lucie on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The performance comes a day after Ramirez banged out four hits against Palm Beach. Through 20 games this season, the 19-year-old is slashing .372/.413/.547 with 11 extra-base hits (eight doubles, two triples and a homer). There are some minor blemishes on his line, including a 2-for-4 showing on stolen-base attempts, but Ramirez is simply dominating at the plate, and his 19.6 percent strikeout rate is a massive improvement on the 31.1 percent mark he posted in his full-season debut for St. Lucie in 2021. Expect the Mets to bump Ramirez, their No. 4 fantasy prospect, up to High-A Brooklyn in short order.
