Friday night's matchup of Carlos Rodón versus Yoendrys Gómez actually features two starting pitchers facing the organization that gave them their first pro contract. Gómez was just 16 years old when the Yankees signed him out of Venezuela in 2016, beginning his slow climb through their farm system t...

Padres signed Yoendrys Gomez

Padres released Michael Kennedy

You can call Brooks Baldwin a lot of things -- left fielder, third baseman, Riley -- but he's not a conformist. He's returned from Triple-A Charlotte committed to sit deeper in his crouch, and is finishing off the best offensive month of his big league career (.305/.359/.542 in 20 games). Moreover, ...

Jacob Reimer , 3B, New York Mets, 21, AA Reimer started the year as hot as any prospect in High-A Brooklyn, but jumped off the bandwagon quickly as he was just okay to start his Double-A career. Blasting a home run and triple on Sunday, Reimer now has four home runs and eight extra-base hits in his...

11. Jacob Reimer , 3B, Mets Team: Double-A Binghamton (Eastern) Age: 21 Why He’s Here: .471/.571/1.059 (8-for-17) 4 R, 2 2B, 1 3B, 2 HR, 5 RBIs, 3 BB, 4 SO, 1 SB The Scoop: It’s easy to think that the Binghamton club was gutted by the promotions of Jett Williams, Cason Benge and Jonah Tong to Triple...

Jacob Melton | HOU OF Melton shows up as the Astros top prospect, but failed to make the top 100. That sounds like a problem for the Astros system in general if they don’t even have anyone in that top 100! With 65/65 Raw Power and 55/5 Speed scouting grades, I’m already curious if he could potentia...

High-A Hot Jeral Perez , 3B, Chicago White Sox (High-A Winston-Salem): .429 (15-35), 8 R, 2B, 3 HR, 7 RBI, 5 BB, 4 K, SB. Season Stats (High-A): .240/.311/.444, 19 HR, 9 SB. A key prospect in the deal that shipped Michael Kopech to the Dodgers, Perez looked like he might be stalling out in High-A ea...

Likely the IBC Padres starting 1B in 2026 ... He signed the summer before, but Lenyn Sosa 's professional career otherwise lines up with Chris Getz's tenure in the White Sox front office. Getz's first year as the organization's farm director in 2017 saw Sosa debut as a skinny 17-year-old shortstop ...

47) Troy Melton - RHP - DET The Good A plus fastball and a quintet of other offerings gives Melton the versatility to be a mid-rotation starter. He has a solid feel for each of his pitches and locates them well. His splitter may be his best offering when it is all said and done. The Bad Melton lacks...

Spoiler alert: Heading into the weekend, Jeral Perez had been the front-runner for the next Fortnight's Finest honor on Tuesday, because he'd finally flipped the switch after a season full of fits and starts at Winston-Salem. He came into Friday's game against Asheville hitting .387/.459/.645 with t...

Colson Montgomery 's nutty last few weeks have made for a lot of postgame interviews, to the point where it feels like he has a scheduled conversation with the White Sox beat more often than not. That's just what happens when you slug .624 after the All-Star break. "I enjoy talking to all you ...

Kyle Karros had a memorable night in his big league debut on Friday night, going 1-for-3 with an RBI single and a walk in a losing effort against the Diamondbacks. Karros got the Rockies on the board with his run-scoring knock off of Zac Gallen in the second inning, pulling the Rockies to within tw...

Brewers: Marco Dinges , C (No. 9) Dinges exclusively DH’d during his lone season at Florida State, but the Brewers thought enough of him as a potential catcher to take him in the fourth round last year. The bat is still the best part of his profile as he’s able to produce exit velocities above 110 m...

18. Devin Fitz-Gerald , 2B, Rangers Fitz-Gerald has always been more advanced than the average prep prospect, and those traits showed early and often in the ACL before he was bumped to Low-A Hickory. The infielder showed off plenty of contact skills as well as raw power scouts believe is currently a...

Davis Martin , Chicago White Sox (4% rostered) Martin is the kind of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde starter that can be hard to stomach on good teams, let alone on a team like the White Sox. So, why is he here? I’m not entirely sure, but all I can say is that I like him. Here’s the Jekyll-and-Hyde act in ...

Nothing in baseball evolves more rapidly from year to year than starting pitchers. Pitchers can alter their arsenals and usage drastically from one season to the next. So it’s important to continually evaluate and catalog these changes. Each year, a group of pitchers who begin the season outside the...

With the acquisition of Colson Montgomery, the IBC Padres find themselves with a glut of good upcoming 3B. Not including real life White Sox players (Montgomery, Brooks Baldwin, Chase Meidroth and Lenyn Sosa) who have or will have 3B eligibility. I think all 4 will be part of the 2026 IBC Padres (Mo...

Kyle Karros has quietly emerged as one of the most promising prospects in the Colorado Rockies system. Since being drafted in the fifth round two years ago out of UCLA, the 23-year-old third baseman has slashed .303/.393/.455 with a 134 wRC+ over 1,000 plate appearances. His numbers this season are...

What a ride it’s been for Colson Montgomery . Montgomery (MLB Pipeline’s No. 4 White Sox prospect, No. 83 overall) homered yet again and drove in four runs in Sunday’s 8-5 loss against the Angels at Angel Stadium. After going homerless in his first 14 MLB games, Montgomery has taken the league by st...

Yankees trade Luis Gil, Colson Montgomery to Padres for Colt 23-Emerson, Cam Schlittler After discussing several players and several scenarios, we settled on this very straight forward deal. Z gets two top 100 prospects as Emerson and Schittler both have very bright potential futures. Emerson proba...
