Team to watch

This is the youngest Top 30 in baseball, so the temptation is to send you to the back fields in Arizona to watch all those young players work -- especially on the mound -- in extended spring training. But the Tri-City Dust Devils have a well-stocked roster as well, with seven Top 30 prospects. It all starts at the top, with Tyler Bremner, the No. 2 overall pick from the 2025 Draft, beginning his pro career there. No one should expect him to stay there that long, especially in a system that isn’t bashful about promoting guys.

Players we could see in MLB in 2026

It’s not completely out of the question that Bremner makes his big league debut this year, but if you want to be a bit more conservative, Nelson Rada’s speed, defense and on-base skills could get a look-see. And we’d all love to see how George Klassen’s power stuff looks at the highest level, especially if he keeps throwing like he did in his Salt Lake 2026 debut (4 2/3 IP, 6 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 5 K’s).

New faces

We’re going to have to wait a bit for the high-end high school arms from last year’s class, like Johnny Slawinski, Talon Haley, CJ Gray, Xavier Mitchell and Luke LaCourse, get going, but the college guys haven’t pitched yet, either. It’s not just Bremner. Chase Shores (2nd round) and Nate Snead (supplemental 3rd round) are also debuting with Tri-City.

On the shelf

Barrett Kent fought through elbow trouble for much of the 2025 season, managing just 35 1/3 innings overall. He eventually had Tommy John surgery in September, so he’ll miss all of the 2026 season.
