For all things Royals in 2022. #3 minor league system according to Baseball America. The Bobby Witt era should begin this year. Will Salvy still be the homerun king? How does the glut of infield players work out? Will the young pitchers take the next step?

I finally got excited enough to do a pick 10 plan. 2 hr drive sucks but the team has the potential to be too much fun.

Padres are deep in trade talks with a couple teams involving Eric Hosmer — the Mets and Cubs believed among those teams. One scenario reported by @dennistlin has Hosmer and Chris Paddack being discussed in a trade scenario with the Mets for Dom Smith.

“Don't let Pasquantino catch you off guard, as [he] hit .300/.394/.563 with a 64/64 K/BB ratio at A+ & AA His 64 XBH ranked sixth in the Minors. The lefty slugger provides an interesting blend of power and strike-zone discipline -- one Kansas City should want in its lineup.” https://t.co/kz8oaxm6bT

New CBA changed the dynamics.

Originally Posted by :
One of the bigger “wins” for players in the negotiations was the implementation of countermeasures against teams manipulating service time of top prospects. For years, it was common knowledge that teams would delay the promotion of a star player on the cusp of the major leagues till after a few weeks had passed, citing the need for additional “development”. What teams were actually doing was ensuring the player would not accrue a full year’s worth of service time in their first season, thus gaining their team an extra year of control before they were eligible for free agency. This was long a thorn in the side of the players union and now there is set to be at least some level of incentives for teams to promote their younger stars by Opening Day.


For one, the top two finishers in Rookie of the Year voting in each league are automatically awarded a full year of service, regardless of how much they actually accrued that year. Secondly, teams that promote top prospects to their Opening Day rosters will be awarded draft pick compensation should that player finish in the top 3 of Rookie of the Year Voting and/or Top 5 in Cy Young/MVP Voting. The details on the exact compensation are not yet released but there will be at least some draft pick incentives to encourage teams to put forth their true best team on Opening Day.

But it is not known if these measures will truly impact service time manipulation. Teams could put top prospects on their opening day roster and then quickly send them down to the minor leagues for an extended period of time should they struggle out of the gate. They might weight the diminished chance of the prospect winning an award against getting an extra year of control and be more quick to demote prospects instead of letting them figure it out in the majors. We shall see how this plays out. Probably things won’t be all that different, but their may be cases where we see a few more top prospects right out of the gate. If they struggle, you can always send them down for a tune-up. Whether this means we’ll see Riley Greene and Spencer Torkelson on the Opening Day roster remains to be seen.

The #Padres trade two prospects, none of whom are ranked in the top 10, for Sean Manaea. One is infielder Euribiel Angeles, per @sdutKevinAcee.
