Sunday Shenanigans 19: The Week of the Diamondbacks
Things have felt better this week for the Diamondbacks. It doesn’t make up for everything that has come before it but there is at least progress.
Things have felt better this week for the Diamondbacks. It doesn’t make up for everything that has come before it but there is at least progress.
The Chicago Cubs were kings of the NL Central throughout the entire shortened 2020 MLB season. In this year’s 2021 campaign, however, the club has undergone an odd stretch. They went from first place to fourth place and are now out of contention and retooling.
There is talent all around and at every key position, including infield, outfield, pitcher, and catcher. With this growing core of top prospects, Seattle is in good shape for quite some time.
The Pittsburgh Pirates were busy adding to their prospect pool at this year’s trade deadline. With the departure of veterans such as Adam Frazier and Richard Rodriguez, that process has been further emphasized.
The Washington Nationals improved their farm system considerably, especially at the top, trading Max Scherzer and Trea Turner to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Let’s take a look at who makes the top five.
The Houston Astros made a couple of key moves to bolster their bullpen at the trade deadline. They were able to do so without desecrating the upper echelon of their farm system, though this isn’t an immense accomplishment given the club’s pipeline was already fairly weak to begin with.
If you hadn’t heard, Major League Baseball decided to get fun for once. This Thursday, the White Sox and Yankees played a thriller in Dyersville, IA, right next to the set of baseball classic Field of Dreams. What other movie adaptations could baseball (or sports in general) do?
For the majority of the 2021 season, Bobby Dalbec has struggled. As the calendar has flipped to August, Dalbec is hitting over .400 and has been an RBI machine. As Boston looks to secure a playoff spot, they will need Dalbec’s bat.
August 12, 2021, will forever be known as the day when the inaugural Field of Dreams game took place. What transpired was a game for the ages.
St. Louis has three prospects in MLB.com’s Top 100 currently. A couple of their other prospects could also move up into that select group. Let’s take a look at how the Cardinals’ top talent looks on the farm.
The San Francisco Giants farm system may be a little top-heavy, but the talent is undeniable, including a top 10 player and a recent draft pick.
A breakdown of each team’s moves at the MLB Trade Deadline and how they did.
