The offseason is approaching fast — so which MLB prospects have the clearest paths to Opening Day roster spots in 2026? On this week’s Prospect Show, Adam Weinrib and Eric Cole break down three top names likely to make the leap from prospect to big leaguer this spring.

They also dive into front-office news as Paul Toboni and the Nationals poach the Pirates’ scouting director, discuss Esmerlyn Valdez’s ridiculous power surge (8 HRs in 29 ABs!), and revisit Adam’s Yankees-Marlins trade package for Sandy Alcantara and Anthony Bender.
