Frequently Asked Questions
Who are the Cubs' top 3 prospects in MLB's Top 100 list?
The Cubs have Pete Crow-Armstrong ranked 31st, Brennan Davis at 51st, and Kevin Alcantara making his debut at 91st on MLB Pipeline's Top 100 prospects list.
What new prospects made the Cubs' Top 10 this year?
Four new faces cracked the Top 10: first-round pick Cade Horton, Ben Brown from the David Robertson trade, second-round pick Jackson Ferris, and Alexander Canario at number 9.
How did the Cubs acquire Kevin Alcantara?
Kevin Alcantara was acquired in the Anthony Rizzo trade and is now destroying the ball in the minor leagues as the Cubs' third-ranked prospect in MLB's Top 100.
What positions should the Cubs focus on in free agency based on their prospect depth?
The Cubs should focus on adding a star infielder and potentially a catcher if Willson Contreras leaves, since their minor league system is weak at those positions compared to their loaded outfield depth.
Why has Brennan Davis fallen in the prospect rankings despite staying in the Top 100?
Brennan Davis has fallen in the rankings due to injury issues, specifically back problems, though if those are behind him there's a good chance he could reach Wrigley next year.
