1. Baseball America's 2023 top 100 prospect list dropped and seven Cleveland Guardians made the list. Jeff tries to guess the back five after Daniel Espino and Gavin Williams (the rest were Bo Naylor, George Valera, Brayan Rocchio, Logan Allen and Tanner Bibee). The Guardians seven prospects were second most on Baseball America's list behind Baltimore's eight.

2. MLB Pipeline listed their top 10 caching prospects for 2023 and Bo Naylor came in at eighth on that list. We talk about why he landed in the back half of the top 10 and why he wasn't really mentioned a ton with consideration for the top of the list.

3. We finish off our infield prospect reviews by talking about the Cleveland Guardians favorite position, shortstops. We debate who the top three shortstop prospects in the Guardians system are, which order they fall in, if any of them would be better than Amed Rosario in 2023 and how they all fit into the future in Cleveland.

4. On YouTube only 38:00 we dive deeper into the Guardians shortstop depth with more talk on Carson Tucker and his tough start to his career, Angel Genao, Yordys Valdez and others.

5. The Red Sox are getting trade interest for Tanner Houck. We debate if Cleveland would be one of those teams showing interest and if they should be.

1. MLB Pipeline released their top 10 left handed starting pitching prospects and there were no Cleveland Guardians on the list. We talked about their list and if Logan Allen or Joey Cantillo should have been on the list.

2. The Guardians High-A affiliate, the Lake County Captains, have new owners. The new owners also own the social media famous college wood bat baseball team, the Portland Pickles. One of those owners is former NFL punter Jon Ryan. We discuss what that means for baseball fans in northeast Ohio.

3. We get into the top second base prospects in the Guardians organization, discussing Nate Furman, Jake Fox, and Juan Brito.

4. On YouTube only, we go deeper at second base and try to figure out the Guardians minor league infield depth chart and where all of these players are going to play.

4. (YouTube only - 35:00) - MLB Pipeline named Daniel Espino (and Gavin Williams) as a top 10 right handed starting pitching prospect in all of baseball. We discussed that list, Cleveland future of pitching, their pitching depth and really, their logjam, trades that might make sense, and some juicy bullpen scenarios that should get everyone hot and bothered.

1. The big story of the day was the Minnesota Twins signing (maybe?) Carlos Correa. But first, we talked about MLB Pipeline's MLB Executives Poll on prospects for the 2023 season and which Cleveland Guardians prospects got votes for awards, rankings and tools. Hint - it's one prospect and the one you think, but not for what you might think. Jeff tries to guess the other names.

2. We finally get into the Carlos Correa situation and if the Twins are actually better than they were a year ago, and why they're banking on health to be a better team in 2023. We talk about what that means for the Guardians.

3. In continuing to talk about shortstops, we talk about the other big news of the day where the Red Sox have potentially lost Trevor Story to UCL surgery for a significant amount of time and if there could be a fit for a trade there with Amed Rosario.

4. We continue the Story/Red Sox need for a SS/Amed Rosario talk on the YouTube only portion of the podcast (40:23) and Jeff throws a bucket of cold water on the Red Sox having interest in Rosario.
