  • BIB Vault: Mets Prospect And Rule 5 Candidate Mike Vasil
    Nov 20 2024
    With teams deciding which minor leaguers they are willing to expose to the Rule 5 Draft in early December, it is a good time to hear from one player who might be living that life - Mets pitching prospect Mike Vasil. Vasil spent the entire season in Triple-A in 2024 after going to the Futures Game the year before.
