For those still unaware, MLB Pipeline recently updated its midseason top 100 prospects list. For Chicago Cubs fans, there’s a ton to dig into – most notably, the fact Brennen Davis rocketed 30 spots up the list. Still, Jed Hoyer’s club boast just two top 100 prospects in this set of rankings, down from four when the season started. That will surely alarm some people given the fire sale focused on re-stocking the farm system we saw in late July.
Currently sitting with the 24th-ranked farm system, one wishes the Cubs would have been able to secure at least one top 100 prospect after ripping apart the core at the July 30 deadline.
