Earning Their Stripes: Marlins Prospects from Yelich Trade Making Strong Cases for Call-ups

It’s an impromptu Christian Yelich trade package special. Danny, Ethan and Ian analyze the hot performances from Triple-A New Orleans Baby Cakes Lewis Brinson, Monte Harrison and Isan Díaz. All three seem destined to join the Marlins active roster later this season (re-joining in Brinson’s case, MLB debuts for Harrison and Díaz). What else do they have left to prove in the minor leagues? 

Coincidentally, right-hander Jordan Yamamoto—the “fourth piece” received for Yelich—was already lined up for an exclusive interview (19:52). Finishing off an impressive month of May for Double-A Jacksonville, he describes the collaborative culture in the Marlins organization (27:41) and why he serves as a barber to other minor league players (31:47), shares his unique perspective growing up in Hawaii (37:50) and much more.
