Tonight, prospects from the Cubs, Marlins, Blue Jays, Athletics and Orioles, who comprise the Mesa Solar Sox, will take on prospects from the Yankees, Rangers, Reds, Royals and Nationals, who comprise the Surprise Saguaros, in the 2021 Arizona Fall League championship game.
It might be just fall ball, but winning a title even in a short-season (30 games) league like this is still important to the players.
If you’ve been following the AFL, you know that Cubs prospect Nelson Velazquez has been tearing up the league all fall (and was added to the 40-man roster Friday), and Andy Weber has also hit well.
