If at the beginning of Spring Training you had to guess which prospect had the best chance of making the team, odds are Tyler Wade wouldn’t be your first choice. But here we are, near the end of spring and Wade is looking like the last prospect standing. That’s pretty impressive considering the other prospects at camp. Gleyber Torres, Miguel Andujar, Chance Adams, and Clint Frazier all probably had a better chance to make the team in everyone’s mind, yet Wade beat them all out.
Aaron Boone confirmed Tuesday that Wade has indeed made the team, entering into a likely platoon at second base with Neil Walker.
