I’m clearing out the last of my in-season interviews on this week’s podcast. There’s a lot of out-of-date talk about upcoming playoffs, but also a lot of great conversation looking back on the season that passed — successes, failures, trades, promotions, and trying to keep pushing through it all! My guests Zander Darby, Kaeden Kent, and Jacob Bresnahan all have much to reflect on fro this year with satisfaction — and Kent’s year isn’t quite over, as he now heads to the Arizona Fall League, which

I still have a few more conversations with players that I recorded in the final few weeks of the season to get out, and today is a big one! We start with my conversation with Jhonny Level, who simply had a sensational season at the age of 19, vaulting into the Top 100 level of prospectdom as the buzz around this young player really built. I also got to talk with Cam Maldonado about his first full season, one that had a injury interruption in the middle of the season. We talk about his excellent

With minor league playoff season in full gear, it seems only right to dedicate this week’s podcast to men leading their teams into the post-season. I was able to speak with Eugene Manager Jacob Heyward during the team’s final hometand before the playoffs (which ended sadly for his squad, though they fought hard throughtout), and with Richmond Manager Dennis Pelfrey during his team’s final homestand as well (they start their run in the Eastern League playoffs tonight). Both men talk about the year

To get you ready for Game One of the Eugene Emeralds’ quest for their third NWL Championship this decade, I have a conversation today with the Game One starter, Henry Lalane, who is a new arrival in the Giants’ organization. With the help of pitching coach Luis Piño, who served as translator, Henry talked me through his baseball history, how he keeps his mechanics locked in, health issues he’s gone through, and what his proudest achievement in 2026 is. Then Piño gets the mic turned on him, as he

This week’s episode features a couple of conversations I had last week with young players who have been promoted recently from Eugene to Richmond, outfielder Lisbel Diaz, and catcher Jancel Villarroel. Both earned their promotions with outstanding first half performances in the NWL. Diaz is tied for the lead in the Giants’ system with 26 home runs on the year, while Villarroel, who came over from the Astros this winter, hit over .300 with an .856 OPS in Eugene. I talk with both players about their
