Two Huge Innings Catapult White Sox Into ALDS (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The fan bases with rooting interest in the White Sox-Astros Wild Card Series entered the postseason with differing perspectives on their teams’ relative talent and season quality. Chicagoans, though perhaps irked at how the division slipped away from them at the end of the season, were likely thrilled to be here after multiple consecutive 100-loss seasons. However, Houston fans, who have enjoyed a higher standard of living for the last decade, aren’t content with parallel parking into the top sp
Joe Musgrove Thrives in Rehab Outing, Plus More Arizona Scouting Notes (opens the original)
Read excerpt
While there was only one Instructional League game in the Valley on Monday, Tuesday had three options: Los Naranjeros de Hermosillo (a Mexican Pacific League team from Sonora, the Mexican State immediately south of Arizona) was at the Athletics’ facility in Mesa, while the Royals (hosting the Reds) and the Rangers (hosting the Padres) would have simultaneous games at their shared complex in Surprise. I carpooled with Baseball America contributor and photographer, Bill Mitchell, to the northwest
Notes From Star-Studded Rockies-A’s Instructional League (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Back from vacation, I returned to the field Monday for an Instructional League game between the Athletics and Rockies. How is the Instructional League different from the Bridge League, which I’ve covered previously? Both are unofficial leagues with a scrimmage-style setting, but “Instructs” take place after the rest of the minor league schedule has concluded, and typically includes a handful of select players from the various affiliates that the parent club wants to see more of, and maybe the be
Eric Longenhagen Prospects Chat: 9/11/2026 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I know the A1/A2/B1/B2/C1/C2/D scale (which is sometimes expanded, depending on FO) gained prominence for grading prospects (or prospect ceilings) during Theo Epstein’s time with the Red Sox. Do you know who, specifically, introduced it as Boston’s classification system? Was it Theo? Jed? Jason McLeod? Someone else further down the ladder? If this isn’t a known answer, can Eric or Brendan use some juice to poll contacts and get their best answer/guess? It bugs me that we don’t have a public reco
Scouting the Uniformed Debuts of Early-Round Padres and Giants Draft Picks (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Late last week, I arrive at Peoria, on the opposite corner of the Phoenix Metro, where Padres first-round pick Coleman Borthwick is making his uniformed debut against the Rangers. I’ve settled on “uniformed debut” rather than “pro debut” for these kinds of box score-free backfield outings that precede the player’s first real game at an affiliate. The second I walk across the threshold between the parking lot and the field, I spot Ramón Laureano playing catch with a softball, and then with a regu
