Summary
Before we get to the tiers, the Mets are back at it! This time they acquired Freddy Peralta from the Brewers (2:30). ... The Brewers got Jett Williams and Brandon Sproat in return (10:14). ... First up we have the elite and near-elite tiers at second base (21:20). ... Luke Keaschall is a polarizing player in the next best things tier (30:09). ... Should Jackson Holliday be higher than the last resorts tier (42:18). ... Hey, shortstop has a first-rounders tier (54:17). ... Should Zach Neto be higher than the near-elite tier (1:00:00)? ... Willy Adames and Dansby Swanson would be totally fine fallback options in a deeper league (1:13:34).
