Graduated from Stash List #3: Lara At The Top Of His Craft: Colt Emerson (#3), Henry Bolte (#4)
1. Dodgers RHP River Ryan (27, AAA)
Destined to pitch for baseball’s best team in the near future. Features a cutter that would’ve stopped the presses a couple decades ago. 27.3 percent strikeout-minus-walk rate and 1.00 WHIP suggest he’ll be effective from the jump.

1. Mariners LHP Kade Anderson (21, AA)
I think he’d be in Triple-A by now if they planned to send him there at all. Double-A seems too easy for him though: an 0.60 ERA and 0.67 WHIP through 30 innings with 47 strikeouts against five walks is preposterous. I realize there’s no room in the rotation for him, but life finds a way.

1. Giants 1B Bryce Eldridge (21, AAA)
Patience has been key to Eldridge’s approach so far this year. He’s been on base 31 times in 63 plate appearances, good for a .492 OBP. Over his last three games, he got on base ten times in 15 plate appearances and hit his first home run of the season. San Francisco is playing utility man Casey Schmitt at first base, and he’s not making many friends over there. Doesn’t make much sense to me. “Play your f*cking prospect!” That’s what Matt Chapman really meant to say that day.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Guardians 2B Juan Brito (24) got the call this week to replace the injured Gabriel Arias and picked up a couple hits in his debut. He walked twice as much as he struck out through nine Triple-A games (6:3) and was slashing .314/.405/.457 for Columbus. I’ve long been a believer in Brito’s bat and suspect he’ll carve out a long term role with this opportunity.

26. Marlins LHP Robby Snelling | 22 | AAA | 2026
In 11 Triple-A starts this season, Snelling recorded a 1.27 ERA and 0.99 WHIP with 81 strikeouts and 17 walks in 63.2 innings. He might’ve been a major leaguer a month ago if Miami had any incentive to promote him. Should open next season in the rotation unless he gets edged out for a month or so by bargain signings.

The top 20 shortstops for 2026 fantasy baseball are Daddy Warbucks and all of you are greedy Little Orphan Annies with your hands out wanting more, more, more. That’s all right, due to a high-yield savings account in the British Virgin Islands that he hasn’t paid taxes on for twenty years, Warbucks has plenty to […]

1. OF Walker Jenkins | 21 | AAA | 2026
The sixth overall pick in the stacked 2023 class, Jenkins is a left-handed hitter with power and plate skills listed at 6’3” 210 pounds, but as I say all the time around here, those measurements look a little out of date. He’s dealt with some injuries that have cost him reps but steadily climbed the organization ladder nonetheless, closing out 2025 with 23 games in Triple-A. In 84 games across four levels, he slashed .286/.399/.451 with ten home runs and 17 stolen bases. It’s tough to predict how the team will handle his timeline. They seem to go back and forth on trading Joe Ryan every other day. If they keep him, Jenkins could be up early. If they move him this winter, I’d bet they’ll slow-play their season in general.
Here’s a link to Grey’s 2026 Fantasy Outlook for Walker Jenkins.

Walker Jenkins is the Twins’ number one outfield prospect and guess what he battled in 2024? An injury! Twins need to examine what’s in the water at their complex in Fort Myers or maybe just stop drinking Cedar from the Rapids. Okay, before going into Jenkins further, as we get towards the tail end of […]

Lotta fun to be had tracking the trade deadline this year, so let’s grab our Geiger counters and pick through the fallout.
AJ Preller brought his own fireworks and fuses. San Diego threw down the gauntlet early by moving SS Leo De Vries, RHP Henry Baez, RHP Braden Nett, and RHP Eduarniel Nunez in a package for closer Mason Miller and LHP JP Sears. Speculation came quickly from Buster Olney and others that the club must be looking to move Robert Suarez and Dylan Cease for outfield help. Instead, they kept Suarez to build a monster bullpen. As much as I like Mason Miller, this represents an enormous return for the Athletics. I can’t believe they got Henry Baez just tacked on for some reason. He’s a good pitcher.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Rosters have been set for Major League Baseball’s Futures Game. First pitch is scheduled for Saturday at 4pm EST. Earlier in the day, tastemakers gather around the batting cage to marvel at the prowess of these youngsters, which seems to generate more helium in the prospect-sphere than the game itself. Makes sense to me. It’s a seven-inning exhibition, and while it’s fun, it’s hard to take too much away from that, although if you reacted to Drake Baldwin’s easy opposite field home run in last year’s game, you played it right.
Here’s a link to the full Futures Game rosters: https://www.mlb.com/news/2025-futures-game-rosters
A few names jump out to me as having a chance to enhance their name value with a nice batting practice session: Pirates OF Esmerlyn Valdez, Pirates SS Konnor Griffin, Phillies C Eduardo Tait, and Athletics 3B Tommy White. None of these guys are going to sneak up on the people there to see them, but they’re all going to be extremely impressive alongside the game’s best prospects. Griffin is the number one prospect in the minors right now. By no means am I unique in this belief, but it’s going to be the consensus soon, and it might happen next weekend.

1. Dodgers RHP Roki Sasaki
He’s alone in this year’s class. I saw the 1.1 pick get traded for Logan Gilbert in a 15-team dynasty league. Other pieces were involved, but nothing to make the previous sentence untrue. Seems like a bit much for me. I prefer Gilbert by a long way and struggle to see how Sasaki could get even close to Gilbert’s 208.2 innings from 2024, never mind his 0.89 WHIP. This kind of trade is what makes dynasty leagues go round: sex v. substance. Door number three v. a car you could drive on the autobahn right now. Shop Sasaki if you have the chance to do so, is what I’m suggesting.
