Yoan Moncada was the No. 1 prospect in baseball. Luis Robert Jr. was the No. 2 prospect. Eloy Jimenez was the No. 3 prospect. None of these three players ever sniffing an All-Star game is just so backbreaking. Our player development model is corrupted.

Absolutely devastated for Liam Hendriks and the Hendriks family. Liam is undergoing treatment for Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. Come back stronger than ever, 31!
