In one of the very first trades from Ben Cherington, the Pittsburgh Pirates sent Starling Marte to the Arizona Diamondbacks, getting top prospects Liover Peguero and Brennan Malone.
Peguero is one of the top prospects in the system, currently playing in Altoona.
Malone hasn’t gotten much chance to pitch, due to injuries the last two years. The latest delayed his start of the 2022 season until Sunday, when he went two innings for Bradenton, giving up a run on a solo homer and striking out three.
This week, we took a different approach with the Prospect Roundtable format.
