Brutal. But also on point. Sad!

ESPN‘s Jeff Passan reports that the Angels “Angels are at very least listening” to trade offers for Zach Neto. @Marlins 🤞

Esteban Mejia is 0-4 with a 7.75 ERA in Single-A this season. The right-hander was a dynasty darling just a year ago after posting a 2.45 ERA in Rookie Ball, and he's still rostered in 18% of Fantrax leagues despite the rough results. At just 19 years old, there's plenty of time for things to click. Pitching development is rarely linear, but it's becoming increasingly difficult to ignore the struggles as the season progresses. 👻

Easy to forget how good David Davalillo was before 2026. Despite a difficult year in Triple-A, he still carries a 2.85 career ERA with 319 strikeouts across 285 MiLB innings. The 5.64 ERA and 1-6 record this season aren't pretty, but Triple-A can be a harsh adjustment.

Baseball America is unserious ranking Zack Gelof at 424 on their top 500 dynasty update. 👻

Joendry Vargas tends to get overlooked because the Dodgers' system is loaded with high-profile names, but he's quietly putting together a solid season. The 20-year-old SS is hitting .257 with 54 hits, 5 HR, 29 RBI and 10 SB through 210 AB. After an injury-shortened 2025, just being healthy and getting everyday reps is a big step forward. Still plenty of development ahead, but the tools that made him one of the top international prospects in his class are still there.

Lucas Ramirez is starting to show why so many people left the 2026 WBC talking about him. The 20 year old son of Manny Ramirez broke out on the international stage for Brazil. So far in 2026 he's holding his own in the Angels system, hitting .273 with a .798 OPS, 4 HR, 30 RBI and 5 SB. The pedigree gets attention, but Lucas is starting to build his own resume. One to keep an eye on.

Alexander Frias is a Dominican outfielder who signed with the Brewers in January 2025. He is only 18 and already 6'2 177 with projectable frame 2026 (ACL Brewers): 65 AB .385 AVG .459 OBP 1.090 OPS 3 HR 13 RBI 7 SB Brewers system has been very good with Jesus Made and Luis Pena breaking out last couple years, maybe Alexander Frias is the next big climber in their farm

Cooper Flemming is a 6'3 190 LH bat and is looking like a great pick from Rays in the 2nd Rd. TB paid 500K over slot to sign the 19 year old prep SS. So far slashing .300 AVG .392 OBP .873 OPS with 5 HR & 6 SB in Single A

Chase Harlan is another over slot prep bat from the 2024 draft. The 3rd round 3B is one of the more underrated bats in what is a stacked Dodgers farm Chase was selected 98th overall but signed for $1.747M which is over $1M above slot. The Dodgers clearly believed in the upside 6'3, 205 and still only 19 years old. Smashing Single-A Ontario so far in 2026: .329 AVG .988 OPS 6 HR 30 RBI Big power potential and would be getting a lot more attention in most organizations

Luke Dickerson got $3.8M as a 2nd round pick in 2024, $1.7M over slot. That’s basically top 20 $ , Nationals clearly viewed him as a 1st-round talent. 2026 so far in Single-A Fredericksburg: .220 AVG .353 OBP .774 OPS 6 HR 33 RBI 6 SB Marconi German isn’t the only Nationals prospect to stay patient with. Luke is still a top 10 prospect in their stacked system despite the BA. Athleticism and upside are all still there. In a weaker farm system he’d probably rank higher
