Something seems to have shifted in the world of prospect promotions. Everyone kind of understands that it’s worthwhile to bring your best prospects up to the majors at the end of a season if they’re going to start the following season on the major league roster.

Padres C Ethan Salas (20) should help the fathers push for a playoff spot. I can’t say I’m surprised he’s been promoted after including Salas on the Stash List last weekend, but it’s still cool to see someone make the baseball-smart decisions in a world where almost everyone else prioritizes money-cautious decisions.
