Micker is going to be a monster. I'm on that train so hard. Keith Law loves him. I'd more dangle Luis Gonzalez/Rutherford as alternatives.

Anything new and worthwhile this morning? Or just hand-wringing over the posturing of two different sources?

Kap distaste aside, anyone listen? Anything interesting from Passan?

Even Merk is optimistic.

If they add Machado and Pollock, I fully expect to see Cease called up if hes progressing like he did last season.

This has to end early this week right? Especially with this purported 8 year offer.

I thought Baseball Cube did college stats?

He knows things based off what he was posting yesterday.

He said he has no sources.

As a west coast resident, I can safely say it's 4:48 PM.

Shrug. I'm still fairly optimistic. Sounds like someone who is frustrated with how long and ongoing the process has been.

Will be interesting to find out if Chili is also hearing bad news.

Oof

I really liked Larnach as well, but I don't think I would have popped him at #4. His CWS showing was great.

Huh?

Someone mentioned the Cardinals in a tweet today. Could possibly still be the mystery team. Or the mystery team is fake and just a leverage ploy.

Padres has always been my suspicion.

We don't need a second Fathom, thanks.

I'm flying in from California to go to my first SoxFest. A Manny appearance/signing would make it so worth it.

Aight. Phils sign Harper, Sox sign Manny. Wrap it up already.

Looks like it's pay-walled. I'll share the top 10 in list format. There are also brief write-ups on players if anyone has interest in specific ones. Carter Stewart is number 15 since I know someone is going to ask about him.

BA's top 100 draft prospects for the 2019 class is up. Maybe this can briefly distract me from Machado-mania. https://www.baseballamerica.com/rankings/2019-top-mlb-draft-prospects/
