A doozy of a Deadline

The dust has barely settled on the 2026 Trade Deadline, but Jim Callis, Jonathan Mayo and Jason Ratliff mustered plenty of energy to talk about all of the wheeling and dealing from a prospect perspective on this week's Pipeline Podcast. They started out with the five Top 100 prospects who were dealt, headlined by new Tigers outfielder Zyhir Hope, which led to a spirited discussion about the overall return in the Tarik Skubal trade. After taking a look at some of the other top prospects who changed teams, the guys then examined teams that had the most impressive prospect hauls, topped by the Mets (11 total prospects acquired). They shifted gears for a minute to talk about the Yankees' callup of top prospect George Lombard Jr. as well as a sneak peak at the Field of Dreams Minor League and High School All-American games before returning to the Trade Deadline to answer a mailbag question comparing the returns for Kevin Gausman and Dustin May/JoJo Romero.
