Podcast Ep. #434: 2026 in Review: Low-Minors Hitters

It's part 2 of our season look-back, and the guys are headed south to the low-minors affiliates. 2026 Breakout Player of the Year Franklin Primera and four 2026 draftees lead a crop of hitters with interesting potential, but a ways to go. Plus, with the season approaching its end, Chris and Ian looked at this year's particularly noteworthy crop of minor league free agents, and how the organization might approach whether and how to retain those prospects.
