Across MLB, a wave of top prospects will be arriving on the shores of their teams rosters for Opening Day. Three of the game’s top five minor leaguers have already been confirmed to have made their teams: Detroit’s Spencer Torkelson, Kansas City’s Bobby Witt Jr., and Seattle’s Julio Rodriguez. A fourth, Detroit’s Riley Greene, was also headed for a roster spot until he suffered a foot fracture last week. The fifth is Adley Rutschman.
Would the Orioles have had Rutschman join this wave if not for the strained triceps he suffered in minor league camp right about when the lockout ended?
