A rivalry that spanned Florida, Tennessee and other landmarks across the South moved to Salt Lake City this week as the Royals and Angels' top prospects got simultaneous Triple-A promotions.

Lovers of the long ball had a lot to feast upon in Thursday's Minor League action. Angels 2024 first-rounder Christian Moore continued his torrid start at Triple-A while a pair of catchers -- the O's Samuel Basallo and the Kyle Teel of the White Sox -- both cleared the fences

Much of the baseball world has been fascinated with the Mariners' High-A affiliate this spring because of switch-pitching sensation Jurrangelo Cijntje, but the Everett AquaSox also hold the unique distinction of having four Top 100 overall prospects among their everyday starting nine. And no one among that group has light-tower

One of the D-backs’ most promising hitting prospects will miss out on the rest of the 2025 season.

WEST SACRAMENTO -- When a team is scuffling through a prolonged losing skid, there comes a point where changes need to be made. For the Athletics, that day came on Friday.

The prospects are coming, the prospects are coming. Entering Friday, five of MLB Pipeline’s Top 10 overall prospects -- including both of the top two -- are at Triple-A and staring down potential Major League debuts.

As the end of May draws near and we recognize the 2025 Draft is less than two months away, it's hard not to catch Draft fever. We'll be talking about it more and more as the big event draws near. Sometimes, you don't even realize it enters into your thinking.

Outstanding nights in the Minor Leagues came from a wide variety of sources and across almost every level on Wednesday. While Phillies top prospect Andrew Painter racked up a season high in strikeouts at Triple-A, a High-A prospect found the seats not once, not twice, but three times. Meanwhile out

Red Sox phenom Roman Anthony continued to trek toward Boston, Reds 2024 first-rounder Chase Burns dominated and a pair of newly promoted Top 100 prospects -- Blue Jays hurler Trey

Aramis Garcia has hit a lot of home runs in his 11 seasons of pro ball -- 106 to be exact. But none measured up to the one he sent into orbit on Tuesday. The D-backs farmhand demolished a 484-foot homer, per Statcast -- the longest by any player in
