    This is easily the worst one. There’s a (bad) argument to be made for Conrad > Ballesteros if you see Ballesteros topping out as Matt Stairs. II don’t see how you pick Ramírez (or Triantos) over Rojas, who has the positional advantage and better power.

    BP is easily the worst of the major national prospect publications. Not a fan of their lead guy. Getting by on Goldstein and Parks‘ reputations.

    Cubs are 8th in bWAR of internationals signed under the bonus pool system.

    Bryan Smith is now a correspondent at BA: He wrote about Kaleb Wing this month.

    The rankings are from BA. BA ranks based on bonus amounts. The bonus amounts are actually from Francys Romero because BA doesn't list bonus amounts anymore (when they stopped listing bonuses a few years ago, they said it was for security reasons for Venezuelan prospects).
  11. CaliforniaRaisin
    Yes

    The Cubs will sign switch hitting Venezuelan CF Eduardo González next week for a $1 million bonus.
  15. CaliforniaRaisin
    BA released 11-30 today: 11. James Triantos 12. Josiah Hartshorn 13. Dominick Reid 14. Brandon Birdsell 15. Jostin Florentino 16. Cristian Hernández 17, Kaleb Wing 18. Owen Ayers 19. Juan Cabada 20. Ángel Cepeda 21. Riley Martin 22. Ty Southisene 23. Will Sanders 24. Juan Tómas 25. Erian Rodríguez 26. Pierce Coppola 27. Tyler Schlaffer 28, Brody McCullough 29, Ariel Armas 30. Nick Dean Wilfi de la Cruz was 18 for Baltimore. Ryan Gallagher 22 for Minnesota. Ronny Cruz 21 and Christian Franklin 22 for Washington.

    Owen Caissie, Christian Hernández and Edgardo de León is not too shabby. The deadline asking price was Caissie and Wiggins.
  17. CaliforniaRaisin
    Cabrera does have a more checkered injury history but that's likely baked into his trade value. He's got 3 years left, I assume he'll blow out and miss 1 of them. But that's what's nice about him having 3 more years under contract.
  18. CaliforniaRaisin
    I'd say Gleyber always had the size and athleticism to dream of being a top 10 prospect (and major league shortstop, initially at least) that Rojas lacks.
  19. CaliforniaRaisin
    Sorry - I meant I'm guessing someone the Cubs picked last summer is in the trade.
  20. CaliforniaRaisin
    Eric Patterson POTY award erasure.
  21. CaliforniaRaisin
    I think a 2025 draft pick might be in the trade.
  22. CaliforniaRaisin
    Medicals take so long during the offseason. Especially if a player lives outside the country, probably even tougher if any player is Venezuelan (not sure there are any Venezuelans in the trade).
  23. CaliforniaRaisin
    Because the ask in July was Caissie and Wiggins.
  24. CaliforniaRaisin
    Cerami is great. Just want to add Greg Z had it yesterday too, while on a cruise ship.
  25. CaliforniaRaisin
    Sounds like it’s going to be Caissie, not Mo (nor Shaw). Not sure who else.
