Graduated from Stash List #5: House Party or Moore Is Better: Roman Anthony, Christian Moore, Jacob Misiorowski

Note: Anyone promoted during the current season is ineligible for the stash list.

 

1. Reds RHP Chase Burns (22, AAA)

Made his Triple-A debut this week and walked four batters but still surrendered just two runs in 5.1 innings and struck out seven Iowa Cubs. I wouldn’t give him more than five starts at the level, and I doubt the Reds will. They paid the man $9.25 million to sign on the dotted line. No good reason to spend a pile of pitches in the minors.

1. Red Sox OF Roman Anthony | 20 | AAA | 2025

2. Athletics 1B Nick Kurtz | 22 | MLB | 2025

3. Brewers SS Jesus Made | 18 | A | 2028

4. Royals 1B Jac Caglianone | 22 | AAA | 2025

5. Rangers SS Sebastian Walcott | 19 | AA | 2026

6. Padres SS Leo De Vries | 18 | A+ | 2027

7. Reds RHP Chase Burns | 22 | AA | 2025

Interesting times at the top. Made and De Vries both feel like a smart place to put your money during these volatile economic times. Kurtz and Caglianone get these spots partly for floor, but they’re also closer to the Torkelson-Vaughn vortex than anyone in the lower minors. Gotta try to account for all facets of reality, and in doing that, I can see Chase Burns making a Skenesian impact over the final stretch this season. The pitcher penalty felt pretty outdated as I watched him dominate. The only thing most people can agree on here is that Anthony represents the best combination of proximity, probability and potential.

1. 2B Travis Bazzana | 22 | A+ | 2026

Bazzana has gotten stronger throughout his career in college ball and added significant impact to his plus-contact profile, homering 28 times in his junior season after hitting 11 as a sophomore and six as a freshman. It’s a real mark of his hitting prowess and upside that he went first overall as a college second baseman. As far as I can recall (which ain’t far, tbf), he’s the first number one overall pick of that type, and a cursory search revealed nothing to disagree with that. For a human-sized (6’ 199 lbs) lefty learning his way through the game, Cleveland seems like the perfect landing spot. His timeline looks wrong to me at a glance here, but then I try to think Cleveland thoughts, and I see a river of fire that suggests anything sooner than 2026 would be optimistic, and rivers of fire rarely portend optimism among the people.

1. Red Sox OF Kristian Campbell | 22 | AAA 

He’s only been in Triple-A for eight games, but Campbell is slashing .303/.410/.606 with three home runs, two steals, five strikeouts and six walks. On defense, he’s played third base, shortstop and center field in those eight games. He played second base and both corner outfield spots in other stops along the way. The Red Sox are three games out of the final wild card spot, and here they’ve got this lightning-hot hitter who can play all over the field. Nick Sogard is playing second base in Boston and has a 47 wRC+ through 14 games. Might as well see if Campbell can do better than that. Should also note here that Trevor Story began a rehab assignment Friday night, but I’d take Campbell over Story in a heartbeat if I were captaining a playoff push.

The Cubs released closer Hector Neris, which probably makes Jorge Lopez the closer for now. The club also recalled deadline acquisition RHP Jack Neely, a former Yankees prospect who checks in at a gargantuan 6’8” 245 lbs. He’s thrown 6.2 scoreless innings with a 52 percent strikeout rate for Triple-A Iowa since the trade that sent him there. RHP Porter Hodge is the early favorite for the gig in 2025 until further notice, specifically a notice of the club getting involved in the reliever reclamation market as it often does. RHP Tyson Miller has been excellent this season but doesn’t feature the wipeout arsenal most teams want in a guy who handles the ninth. Meanwhile, jettisoned Cubbie farmhands RHPs Manuel Rodriguez and Jeremiah Estrada are key pieces of other teams’ bullpens. I won’t count RHP Hunter Bigge because he at least was traded for something. Can’t win ‘em all, I realize, but here’s hoping Neely gets a real opportunity to nail down a long-term roster spot.
