This week, Brian and Kyle recap the 2025 season for the Cardinals organization's minor league affiliates. Five award winners from Springfield are highlighted – JJ Wetherholt, Ixan Henderson, Joshua Baez, Brycen Mautz and manager Patrick Anderson. The two speculate as to whether we might see more imported arms like Memphis mound standouts Curtis Taylor and Aaron Wilkerson to help build needed minor league pitching depth. They close with mention of a potentially underrated player, Springfield outfielder Miguel Ugueto, who is among those headed to the Arizona Fall League.
The Cardinals' season is nearing it's end, and the Minor League season is over as well. However, the Cardinals are sending several prospects to the Arizona Fall League. The list includes Chen Wei Lin, Travis Honeyman, Randel Clemente, and more.

Welcome to Episode 103 of Tablesetters. Devin and Steve return with another in-depth journey through the world of baseball, tackling both the headlines that shake the game and the performances that define it. We begin in Detroit, where the Tigers and Ilitch Sports and Entertainment find themselves in the middle of a storm. A series of troubling misconduct allegations have emerged, involving multiple executives and former player Cameron Maybin. It is a story that extends far beyond the diamond and raises difficult questions about accountability, workplace culture, and the responsibility that professional sports organizations bear toward their employees and their communities. From there, we turn to a pair of emotional and historic chapters. Anthony Rizzo, the face of the Cubs' modern era, has officially retired from Major League Baseball and steps into a new role as a team ambassador. His legacy in Chicago is written not only in numbers but in leadership, resilience, and the unforgettable moment when he caught the final out of the 2016 World Series. We also reflect on the life of Davey Johnson, who has passed away at the age of eighty-two. Johnson was a visionary manager whose analytical approach was ahead of its time and who came closer than most to building a true dynasty with the unforgettable Mets of the nineteen eighties. On the field, the race for National League Most Valuable Player has taken center stage. Kyle Schwarber has joined the select company of sluggers with fifty home runs, while Juan Soto has etched his name into history with a rare thirty home run, thirty stolen base season. This debate captures the essence of value in today's game: is it the thunder of historic power and iconic moments, or is it the balance of all-around excellence? We will also revisit our rankings of the one-two-three MLB Jam pitching trios. From the dominance of the Dodgers with Yamamoto, Snell, and Glasnow, to Tarik Skubal's Cy Young campaign that elevates the Tigers' staff into elite territory, to the balance and depth of the Phillies and Mariners, these rotations represent the backbone of October dreams and postseason survival. The discussion continues with the Mets' recent struggles as their wild card lead shrinks and the Giants close the gap, the unsettling controversy surrounding Framber Valdez and his so-called cross-up moment, and the injuries that could shift the balance of pennant races, including the devastating absence of Bo Bichette for the Blue Jays and the double blow of Trea Turner and Alec Bohm for the Phillies. As always, we round out the episode with our signature segments. We ask “What's the Word?” to define the week's most memorable moments and we look ahead to the Arizona Fall League, where thirteen Top 100 prospects will take the stage, providing one more chance to watch the future of the game under the desert sun. All of this and much more is waiting for you in Episode 103 of Tablesetters. Follow us on Instagram and X @TablesettersPod, and join us as we set the table for another unforgettable week in the game we love.

Jim Callis, Jonathan Mayo and Jason Ratliff are back together for the first time in a long time for this week's MLB Pipeline Podcast, and that affords them the opportunity to take a look at the deluge of big league callups and debuts of Top 100 prospects from the last couple of weeks. On the pitching side, they break down the Pirates' Bubba Chandler, Red Sox lefty Payton Tolle and Mets' right-hander Jonah Tong. There have been five hitters to get the call of late and the guys talk about all of them: Carson Williams (Rays), Jhostynxon Garcia (Red Sox, Sal Stewart (Reds), Harry Ford (Mariners) and Carter Jensen (Royals). After that, talk turns to the Arizona Fall League and a "wish list" of prospects Jim and Jonathan hope to see in the league this year.

Send us a text#Pirates rookie 27 YO Matt Gorski hit a home run in his first #MLB at-bat this week! But maybe #Dbacks Eugenio Suarez outdid him by clubbing 4 home runs in a game versus the #Braves, that Arizona ended up losing! Are the #Giants & #Tigers built for the long haul? Is #Yankees Paul Goldschmidt really back in HOF form? We cover the big and little stories of the past week. Like the phantom triple play turned by the Nationals in their crazy win Friday vs. #Mets. AND, then there's checked swings. In the Arizona Fall League last year Mets Drew Gilbert was the first player to call for a check swing review using the technology that was tested. The criteria is that the swing cannot go past 45 degrees beyond the edge of home plate. It worked just fine and we hope that along with ABS, ACS (automatic check swing?) will become part of daily life in the majors. Getting the call right is what all fans want most! Here's the clip on the first check swing review in the Arizona Fall League in 2024 - https://www.mlb.com/news/mlb-testing-check-swing-challenge-in-arizona-fall-leagueIntro & Outro music this season courtesy of Mercury Maid!

They kicked things off by highlighting their favorite prospect-related moments from the '24 season, from the Paul Skenes-Jackson Holliday Spring Breakout matchup all the way through to seeing Andrew Painter pitch in the Arizona Fall League. Then they turned the page to look ahead to what's sure to be an exciting 2025 by discussing some intriguing storylines, including whether pitching prospects are back and who will be the No. 1 pick in the Draft. One of the biggest storylines will undoubtedly be Roki Sasaki, and Sam and Jonathan broke down which teams are best positioned to sign him before finishing things up by playing Santa for the Blue Jays farm system in this week's listener Mailbag.
