The deadline is next week to add prospects to the 40-man roster, thus protecting them from the Rule 5 Draft.

Find out who @ivyfutures.bsky.social and I think they might protect!

Riley Martin and Luke Little had the exact same season. Like, eerily similar.

A couple of mini-breakouts down in Myrtle Beach happened this summer, with Jostin Florentino showing out in his first year stateside and Ethan Flanagan getting his first taste of pro action after missing significant time due to injury.

Continued success next year would be HUGE

The Myrtle Beach Pelicans have a whole playlist of Buddy Bailey videos over on YouTube that you should definitely check out!

One of the snippets that stands out to me is the massive impact he had on baseball in Venezuela. He’s an absolute legend down there.

Programming note:

The Cubs On Deck Annual Award Show will not be releasing at our usual Tuesday morning time. @cubsmith.bsky.social, @ivyfutures.bsky.social, and I need more time to pick our winners (aka scheduling conflicts)! Date TBA!

In the meantime, here are the awards we’ll be handing out!

This week, I went on my podcast that’s entirely dedicated to Cubs prospects wearing a Toledo Mud Hens shirt instead of my typical Obvious Shirt. A crime regardless, but especially during a week where the Iowa Cubs are playing those very Mud Hens. My sincerest apologies.
