The minor league season starts . . .well, the Triple-A season started yesterday . . .and that means it’s time to take stock of the Cubs minor league farm system.
As we’ve written in these pages over the past few months, the Cubs farm system is the strongest it has been since the 2013-15 period that led to the Cubs’ World Series title in 2016. Some have argued that it’s stronger than that period. The argument goes that while that era had some higher-regarded prospects, today’s Cubs farm system is a lot deeper and has a lot more pitching prospects.
