MLB Pipeline and Baseball America drop their top 100 prospects lists for Major League Baseball in 2025. The Los Angeles Dodgers - no surprise - lead the National League West with six players headlined by Japanese phenom Roki Sasaki. Did the Dodgers exert some advantage to get these talented minor leaguers? And how much of an edge do they have compared to the rest of the NL West? Are the San Diego Padres duo of Ethan Salas and Leodalis De Vries a better bet than the Colorado Rockies tandem of Chase Dollander and Charlie Condon? Should fans of the San Francisco Giants (Bryce Eldridge) and Arizona Diamondbacks (Jordan Lawler) be worried their team has only one notable addition to these lists?
Ben & Woods start the 8am hour by celebrating "National Blueberry Pancake Day" with some help from one of our favorite movies of all time. Then we play a game of Take On Woods before we discuss Keith Law's latest Top 100 Prospects rankings in The Athletic, and if there should be any concern about Ethan Salas dropping from #3 in 2024 to #17 in this year's rankings. Listen here!

Ben and Carlos talk about Jac Caglianone's return to the mound in the 2025 season and how they view him as a two-way player moving forward, as well as why people should stop referencing Shohei Ohtani as a comp for him—or any other player. After that the two continue their organizational overview series with the National League West, starting with a pair of strong farm systems with the Dodgers and Rockies, and then with a trio of more questionable groups with the Padres, D-Backs and Giants. The two open up the listener mailbag at the end of the show with question that include: sleeper bats in the 2025 draft class, international signing tax implications, potential issues with international players coming to the states and how the nitty gritty of international signings happens. —Time Stamps(0:01) Opening Banter(5:00) Jac Caglianone(14:00) NL West Overviews(14:30) Dodgers(17:30) Dalton Rushing(22:00) Zyhir Hope(28:00) Eduardo Quintero(30:00) Kellon Lindsey(32:00) Rockies(34:00) Chase Dollander(36:00) Charlie Condon(41:20) Adael Amador(43:00) Zac Veen & Robert Calaz(47:30) Padres(49:00) Don't jump ship on Ethan Salas(52:00) Ethan Salas vs. Leo De Vries(55:00) Deeper Padres names(1:02:00) D-backs(1:05:30) Slade Caldwell(1:08:00) Adrian Del Castillo(1:12:00) Druw Jones(1:15:15) Giants(1:18:00) Dakota Jordan(1:21:00) Solid international moves for San Francisco(1:23:00) Carson Whisenhunt(1:25:00) Listener MailbagDo you have a question you want us to answer?

A.J. Preller was busy swinging key deals throughout the 2024 that turned the Padres into a contender, and left few familiar names on the farm. So who will we need to know in 2025? Our friend John Conniff from MadFriars returns, stocked with scouting reports on the biggest names in the system. Ethan Salas and Leo De Vries are the gems, who are the most promising prospects behind them? And who has a shot at helping out at the big league level in 2025? Plus some thoughts on the Padres' place in the Roki Sasaki sweepstakes.
Ben & Woods start the 8am hour continuing their discussion on what the Padres will and should commit financially this offseason. Then the guys talk a little college football as we're really starting to see the impact that NIL money is having on the sport before we get back to some MLB offseason talk, and discuss whether or not the Padres can legitimately go out and trade for White Sox ace Garrett Crochet this offseason. Would you trade an Ethan Salas or Leo De Vries? Listen here!
We did some Daily Gambit, talked about the possible 2026 arrival of Ethan Salas, and The Countdown was the top 5 game shows we wanted to be on.
We have a pair of really fun conversations today. Ethan Salas, MLB's No. 17 prospect, joins us live from the Arizona Fall League to talk hitting, the Padres' playoff run and how he's preparing to one day join them. We also talk to Georgia star Tre Phelps, one of the better prospects in the 2025 draft, about the Bulldogs' stadium renovations, the longest home run he ever hit and why he thinks former teammate Charlie Condon is on a hall of fame trajectory.

With Arizona Fall League rosters announced, Ben and Carlos talk through some of the prospects they are most looking forward to seeing. From obvious Top 100 names like Colt Emerson, Ethan Salas and Leo De Vries, to players coming off of injury riddled seasons like Chase DeLauter and Jett Williams, and other players with huge tools like Zyhir Hope and Jac Caglianone. After that the two talk about Kristian Campbell being named the 2024 BA Minor League Player of the Year and trace his history as a prospect. What are the lessons we can learn from his player development path and who are other prospects with similar skill sets or untapped potential who might be able to follow that path? At the end of the show the two take listener questions about Jackson Jobe, offensive prospects to know for fantasy purposes in the 2025 and 2026 draft classes and Top 100 prospects poised to leap forward on the list in the future.—Time Stamps(1:30) Arizona Fall League overview(3:30) AFL players we're most excited to see(7:00) Chase DeLauter(12:00) Zyhir Hope(21:00) Colt Emerson & Cole Young(28:00) Jett Williams(33:00) Jac Caglianone(45:00) Kristian Campbell(59:30) Players who could follow his path(1:00:00) Jacob Wilson & Nolan Schanuel(1:03:00) Jaison Chourio(1:05:00) Cooper Pratt(1:07:00) Joshua Kuroda-Grauer(1:09:00) Henry Mendez & Mike Boeve(1:13:00) Nacho Alvarez & Chase Meidroth(1:15:00) Deep Sleepers From The DSL (1:19:00) Listener Questions—Do you have a question you want us to answer?
