In the interest of keeping your prospect portfolio adequately diversified, we like to update this stock watch every now and again with new names from across the Cubs’ development spectrum. Past issues have included obvious names like Brennen Davis, Riley Thompson, and Chris Morel, but we brought you information on Ethan Roberts as early as May of 2019. Earlier this spring, you got a preview of Cristian Hernandez, even though the Cubs now won’t sign him now until January 2021.
This summer presents quite a challenge for prospect-hounds, since the Cubs drafted just five players and signed only 11 more as undrafted free agents.
