BA released their midseason top 30 prospects for all teams. The Cubs: https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/chicago-cubs-2019-top-30-mlb-prospects-midseason-update/ 1. Nico Hoerner 2. Miguel Amaya 3. Brennon Davis 4. Adbert Alzolay 5. Brailyn Márquez 6. Cole Roederer 7. Chase Strumpf 8. Ryan Jensen 9. Ethan Hearn 10 Ryan Gallardo Only glaring omission I saw in the top 30 was no Christopher Morel.
Highlights of the current proposed format: 20 round draft with hard slots and teams allowed to trade picks. First 3 rounds are protected if players don't sign. After the 20th round, players can sign for up to $25k. Draft order would not be based on record. Rather, the top of the order would rotate annually by division.

Yovanny Cruz is alive! Started for AZL Cubs 2: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 0 K, 1-1 GO-FO, 10-2 GO-FO. Hopefully he can get stretched out and get a few starts for Eugene this season.

I'm guessing Mack Chambers is signing. Weird to call that news at this point, since he supposedly agreed to terms weeks ago. Yeah, but it isn't "official." The agreeing to terms weeks ago is how Callis knows it's going to be official today. Just my guess.
