Baseball Prospectus dropped its subscription-based Top 101 Prospects for 2025, and there are two things I wanted to point out that may not sit well with Cubs fans. Granted, we do tend to overrate Chicago’s minor league players in ways that sometimes seem unfathomable. For instance, Owen Caissie and Cade Horton are generally considered players the Cubs should not include in any trade talks. I’d add James Triantos to that group just because he makes above-average contact, a skill lacking throughout the organization.
Anyway, the Cubs placed four players in this year’s BP list, and none are surprises.
