The first version of the Baltimore Orioles Top 30 Prospects list was released on Monday (2/18) by MLB Pipeline. Unless you are a die-hard minor league fan who was looking for it, you may not have realized that it was released.
This year’s top 30 list is much like the 2018 list following the July non-waiver trade deadline deals; the names in 2019 are the same but the list has been drastically reshuffled.
The list breaks down into two distinct parts: prospects acquired directly by the Orioles and prospects acquired at or after the July non-waiver trade deadline.
