With the big-league club in seller mode at 45-62, New York's No. 5 prospect — the South Atlantic League's stolen-base leader — makes his move to Double-A while three others climb from Low-A to Brooklyn.

The New York Mets have a complicated week in front of them at the trade deadline, but the minor-league system didn't take the day off. SNY Mets Pod co-host Joe DeMayo (@PSLToFlushing) reported Monday that the organization is sending a wave of promotions through the pipeline, headlined by shortstop Mitch Voit's move from High-A Brooklyn to Double-A Binghamton.

Voit — the Mets' No. 5 prospect, whom DeMayo identified as the team's first-round pick from the 2025 draft — leaves the Brooklyn Cyclones carrying the system's most distinctive calling card: speed. His 36 stolen bases lead every Mets affiliate and had him sitting third in the South Atlantic League as of Sunday, behind only John Gil (43, Atlanta) and Tony Santa Maria (42, Tampa Bay). The bat has been choppier. He slashed .305/.426/.476 in June, then cooled sharply to .178/.327/.311 through mid-July. The organization is betting on trajectory over recent output.

He's heading to a Binghamton club that already saw some movement last week — the Rumble Ponies sent LHP Jonathan Santucci up to Triple-A Syracuse — and he'll be one of the younger pieces on a roster that has been a work-in-progress all season.

Three other players are climbing alongside him, each moving from Low-A St. Lucie to High-A Brooklyn: Randy Guzman, Trey Snyder, and Antonio Jimenez. Snyder's jump was barely a surprise — Metsmerized had flagged his promotion as "imminent" nearly a week ago after he went .446/.484/.696 (1.180 OPS) across the first three weeks of July, including a stretch where he went 12-for-15 over four games. Jimenez, a right-handed pitcher out of UCF, came to the Mets as the team's third-round pick in 2025 (102nd overall), per Metsmerized.

The backdrop matters. The Mets are 45-62, parked fifth in the NL East, and the Aug. 3 deadline is days away. Veterans are in play — Freddy Peralta has acknowledged he's probably made his last start in Queens, per The Athletic, and the outfield is being shopped where it can. While the front office prepares to move major-league pieces out, it's simultaneously advancing the pieces it's keeping. Voit heading to Binghamton and Snyder stepping into Brooklyn is a picture of where this franchise is actually going once the deadline dust settles.

Two prospects, two different skill sets, both moving up in the same transaction block on the last Monday of July. The Mets may be sellers. The system is still open for business.
