It's here! We roll out our Midseason Top 30 Prospects in the Pittsburgh Pirates' System. Head on over to Bucs on Deck to see who all the top prospects in the system are right now: bucsondeck.substack.com/p/bu…
Wyatt Sanford 0-2 tonight in the Fall Stars game.
Bryan Mena is in the game to try and close it for the NL
I tried something different in this.
I did a 'conservative' and 'aggressive' outcome for each of the top 30 prospects.
Basically, a kind of 'floor' and 'ceiling' for what you could expect from each player.

The Pirates missed the playoffs. They can’t miss again next season. Not in year eight of the Williams/Cherington era where every other NL Central team has made multiple trips to the playoffs.
Don’t worry. I have a playbook for them to get back to October:

With the 2026 Minor League season still fresh(ish) in my mind, I go over some way-too-early sleepers for 2027 in the Pittsburgh Pirates organization. Here are five names to watch when games get going once again. bucsondeck.substack.com/p/mu…
Came up with a mathematical formula to figure out which prospect had the best hit tool in the Pirates system.
Writing it up now, will post what I found next week over at Bucs on Deck.
Any guesses on who it might be?

Luke Scherrer lasers his first of the Fall!
In his first start of the Fall, the Pirates prospect goes yard extending the Desert Dogs lead.
Wyatt Sanford with a hit, stolen base, and run scored in the bottom of the first for Glendale.
Jhonny Severino strikes out in his first at bat.

Watching my dog slowly get to that point is easily one of the most helpless and heartbreaking things I think I’ve ever gone through.
I’ve had her over a third of my life and I see things declining.
She’s not there yet but you watch her and just know where it’s heading.

Easton Carmichael is no longer listed on the roster for the Glendale Desert Dogs.
Catcher Luke Scherrer has replaced him.
Scherrer was an undrafted free agent signing a few years back. Played primarily for the Marauders last year.

The Pirates have extended a qualifying offer to Brandon Lowe. The rate this year is one year, $23.15 million.
Lowe has until Nov. 17 to accept or deny. If he denies and signs elsewhere, the Pirates will get a draft pick. The Pirates and Lowe can still negotiate other contracts.
Kordell was my favorite player growing up.
I also didn’t grow up in Pittsburgh so I didn’t realize what was unfolding.
I was horrified when I figured out the kind of treatment he got
I’m glad they did this documentary. I’m glad Noah brought extra attention to this.
