1. C Moises Ballesteros | 22 | MLB | 2025

A left-handed hitter listed at 5’8” 215 lbs, Ballesteros puts barrel to ball with the best of them, making contact just about any time he feels like it and minimizing strikeouts every step of his climb to the precipice. In 114 Triple-A games this year, he slashed .316/.385/.473 with 13 home runs and just 67 strikeouts against 49 walks. His bat has outpaced his defensive development, so even though he’s always generated positive outcomes against much older competitors, Ballesteros might have to make a leap behind the plate or wait while the Cubs sort through other options at his position.

1. 3B Matt Shaw | 23 | AAA | 2025

He’s still listed at third base because that’s what he played this year, but Shaw is probably ticketed for the outfield with Isaac Paredes at the hot corner under team control through 2027. No reason he can’t contribute some infield innings here and there, which might be a better fit for his skillset anyway. In 121 games across two levels this year, Shaw slashed .284/.379/.488 with 21 home runs and 31 stolen bases despite a pretty slow start to the season. The 13th overall pick in 2023, he improved throughout the season, played better in AAA than AA and earned a shot to make the opening day roster but might get caught in the wash of Chicago’s off-season machinations. Probably should’ve been part of the team this year, too.

1. RHP Cade Horton | 22 | AA | 2024

Horton heard his name during the seventh overall pick in the 2022 Rule 4 draft, and he’s been making noise ever since. In 21 games across three levels this season, he pitched 88.1 innings and recorded 117 strikeouts with a 1.00 WHIP and a 2.65 ERA. Word around the north side is that they’ll be extremely active in free agency, and it’s hard to disagree after seeing the cash they’re shelling out for new manager Craig Counsell, but I hope they only block Horton for legitimate rotation options. I think he could win a spot out of spring training if they’d let him.
