  1. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7411607/2026/07/01/mlb-futures-game-roster-preview-jesus-made-eli-willits/
  2. BA’s updated top 100. Hartshorn is a top 30 prospect!
  3. Me when Josiah Hartshorn's OPS drops below 1.000 and Ethan Conrad goes to 2/3:
  4. Scheduled Games (Central Time): Iowa at Toledo, 6:05 pm Knoxville vs. Columbus, 6:00 pm South Bend at Beloit, 6:05 pm Myrtle Beach vs. Hickory, 6:05 pm The ACL and DSL Cubs teams have the day off Probable Starters: Iowa: TBD Knoxville: RHP Brooks Caple (34.2 IP, 3.63 ERA, 3.65 FIP, 36 K, 10 BB) South Bend: RHP Mason McGwire (15 IP, 4.20 ERA, 2.84 FIP, 17 K, 6 BB) Myrtle Beach: RHP David Bracho (50.2 IP, 5.33 ERA, 4.59 FIP, 53 K, 37 BB)
  5. Conrad with a 105.1 mph single in his first pro AB!
  6. He’s here and he’s beautiful Only DHing, but still.
  7. I updated my original post to add Lance’s follow-up tweet which has what I feel is a better picture: a plot based on pitching $$ as a % of bonus available (since the Cubs always have lower pools). The Cubs are still way too low, even then. If a draft model values safety, it will inevitably prefer a hitter to a pitcher, and then your farm is continuously devoid of pitching.
  8. Indeed, Logan Poteet and Michael Carico have been promoted to South Bend.
  9. Kaleb Wing placed on the 7-day IL.
  10. Catchers Ivan Céspedes and José Silva getting bumped up from the ACL to Myrtle Beach. Wonder if that’s the start of a system-wide catcher and catcher-adjacent promotions (a la Carico and Poteet to South Bend and Ayers to Iowa)?
  11. https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/2026-mlb-draft-buzz-what-were-hearing-with-11-days-to-go/ Mason Edwards stock moving up, possibly into the top 20 Trey Ebel, Archer Horn and Caden Ferraro are buzzy names post-1st round And this:
  12. That said, he's supposedly pretty close to coming back to ACL games. These days, I'm religiously refreshing MiLB.com for the ACL lineups 15 minutes before each game, hoping to see Conrad.
  13. Scheduled Games (Central Time): Iowa at Toledo, 11:05 am Knoxville vs. Columbus, 6:00 pm South Bend at Beloit, 6:05 pm Myrtle Beach vs. Hickory, 6:05 pm ACL Cubs vs. ACL Dodgers, 8:00 pm DSL Cubs Blue at DSL Orioles Orange, 10:00 am DSL Cubs Red vs. DSL Arizona Red, 10:00 am Probable Starters: Iowa: RHP Will Sanders (30.1 IP, 4.75 ERA, 5.54 FIP, 38 K, 14 BB) Knoxville: RHP Connor Schultz (22.2 IP, 5.56 ERA, 3.69 FIP, 32 K, 13 BB) South Bend: RHP Jostin Florentino (24.2 IP, 5.47 ERA, 5.86 FIP, 30 K, 19 BB) Myrtle Beach: RHP Emilio Ramos (4.1 IP, 10.38 ERA, 6.15 FIP, 2 K, 3 BB)
  14. He's been listed as active on the bench all season. They don't have a short-term IL in the ACL so they list all active players on the bench and bullpen.
  15. From what I’ve gathered, Kantrovitz’ draft model de-values 1st round catchers.
  16. Scheduled Games (Central Time): ACL Cubs at ACL Brewers, 8:00 pm DSL Cubs Blue vs. DSL Cleveland Goryl, 10:00 am DSL Cubs Red at DSL Mariners, 10:00 am All full season teams have the day off
