Big league teams keep promoting big-time prospects, and Jim Callis, Jonathan Mayo and Jason Ratliff discuss the trend in the latest Pipeline Podcast.

Then they talk to Twins outfielder Walker Jenkins, the No. 5 overall pick in the 2023 Draft, and about the latest addition to the Top 100 list (Yankees right-hander Drew Thorpe), as well as the upcoming Minor League Awards Show before answering a mailbag question about 2024 rookies.
