Starting a thread for every single prospect that appears in a 2025 MLB Spring Training game. I’ll be answering the question:
“What does this season have in store for this guy?”
Plenty of prospects in the first game, so let’s dig in ⬇️

We need to have a conversation about the Chicago Cubs and their International Free Agent ventures — specifically their inability to identify and develop pitchers in that market. outofthevines.wordpress.com/2025/11/29/t...
The Chicago Cubs Haven’t Gotten Any Production from International Free Agent Pitchers
We need to have a conversation about the Chicago Cubs and their International Free Agent ventures — specifically their inability to identify and develop pitchers in that market.

Damon Minor is the new hitting coach for Triple-A Iowa, as @sahadevsharma.bsky.social mentioned on North Side Territory.
Minor was an assistant hitting coach for the San Francisco Giants last year after spending several years as their Triple-A hitting coach. He’ll replace Rick Strickland.

Thankful for everyone who tunes into the podcast, whether it’s each episode or just the ones that sound good to you, on YouTube or other platforms, since the start or very recently began, and whether you chat prospects on social media or are super lowkey.
Go Cubs!

On how a potential work stoppage in 2027 might (not) impact minor league baseball
Separate CBAs. 40-man roster players covered by MLB CBA but MiLB players are under a separate CBA between MiLB players and MLB owners. No reason it should affect them.

@jjcoop36.bsky.social hey JJ, I know past work stoppages in Major League Baseball haven’t impacted minor league baseball, but with the new changes to minor league players and the MLBPA, would that still be the case in 2027?

Peek behind the curtain: if you listened on podcast, you’ll hear WAY fewer yeah’s and okay’s from me as Hayden is talking because I edited them out. I was dropping them every 5 seconds (and they are still there on YouTube) because I was so intrigued with everything he was saying.
This might be the best interview yet.

It’s possible that Hayden Cantrelle is the most interesting guy in the entire Cubs farm system. I was lucky enough to have him on the show ⬇️

This is a really good point and something that I think gets severely overlooked. The broadcasters are living and breathing every pitch and their write-ups are amazing.
I would add that MLB Pipeline often has detailed write-ups from the previous day’s game for each affiliate + the box score. Many times the game summaries are written by the broadcaster, who seems to have responsibility for pretty much everything short of being in the lineup.

When Kade Snell decided to transfer after one year at Auburn, schools were interested in him as a two-way player.
The problem? Snell hadn’t picked up a bat in a year and a half.
The result? National player of the year and future Cubs draft pick

This is awesome. What should be a terrific change to the MLB Draft. Really curious to see who the hosts and analysts are for the draft show
MLB has announced media rights agreements with ESPN, NBCUniversal and Netflix.
Among the changes coming in 2026:
MLB Draft Day 1 will move to Saturday of All-Star Week with NBC/Peacock showing the first hour. MLB Network and Peacock/NBC Sports Network will carry the rest of the first round.
