From minor league dreams to October legends? ⚾

On today’s Prospect Show, hosts Adam Weinrib and Eric Cole spotlight three recent top prospects who could unexpectedly play huge roles in deciding the 2025 World Series champion:

-Trey Yesavage (Blue Jays) – suddenly Toronto’s No. 2 starter on the No. 1 seed in the AL.

-Connelly Early (Red Sox) – now Boston’s No. 3 starter after the Lucas Giolito injury.

-Chase DeLauter (Guardians) – activated late, can he provide a spark in Cleveland’s run?

🔥 Bonus: Noelvi Marte’s September surge may have single-handedly changed the NL playoff picture.

Quick Hits:

-Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp supremacy – Triple-A championship walk-off from Jacob Berry and the Marlins’ big finish.

The MLB playoff races are absolutely insane right now, and we’re running the Playoff Panic Meter for every contender on the edge.

Hosts Adam Weinrib and Robert Murray break down the late-September chaos:

-Guardians vs. Tigers – do both make it, or does one collapse out of the bracket?

-Astros’ final 5 games – still the same October-ready Astros, or in real danger of missing out?

-Red Sox – series against Tigers and Jays could decide everything.

-Mets’ NL Wild Card fight – are they really at risk of a collapse worse than 2007?

-Tigers’ collapse watch – is this worse than anything we’ve seen before, or do the Mets’ expectations make theirs the ultimate disaster?

🔥 Quick Hits:

-ABS Challenges coming – thoughts on the new system.

-Alek Manoah DFA – is this the end, or does someone take a chance?

-Clayton Kershaw’s playoff roster spot – does he make it?
