Miguel Mendez

Robbie Ray, he's shown some, some, some poor signs as of late, walking too many batters, but that's not what we're talking about.

They gave up Cash Mayfield and Miguel Mendez, um, and for both of these guys.

Well, one for one, I should say.

Um, among other minor pieces, but those are the big things.

Probably Cash Mayfield was a little bit more up there.

Um, and I'd say that the top pitching prospects for the Padres, Cruz, uh, Schoolcraft, and then, um, uh, Tucker Musgrove are still with the team, and obviously still Ethan Salas.

Um, but let's talk first about Miguel Mendez.

I feel like he's the one that isn't getting talked about a lot, but I do feel like he's got this high floor as just a really good reliever.

They have him already in the top 15.

Miguel Mendez, he is 24 years old, so he comes over.

He's 16, number 16.

Argenis Kayama, he is number 17, another pitcher.

Same thing with Ramon Marquez, that they got into Philly straight.

Same thing with Miguel Mendez.

Same thing with Henry Lallani.

And then you even go lower with...

Giants sent Robbie Ray to the Padres.

Giants got, uh, pitcher Miguel Mendez and shortstop Yoniel Hernandez.

Blue Jays traded Kevin Gausman to the Cubs.

Blue Jays got outfielder Brett Batemen and infielder Tay Suessan.

Yeah.

Speaking of get a look at, one of the guys the Giants got for the Robbie Ray trade, Miguel Mendez, joined Double-A, so we're starting to see some of these new young faces advance through the system.

Yeah.

Two and two-thirds, um, five strikeouts.

They got...

They sent Robbie Ray to the San Diego Padres in exchange for pitching prospect Miguel Mendez and infielder, uh, Jo- Joniel Hernandez.

Now, check this out.

It says the Giants have an impressive group now in the middle... of middle infielders.

It's one of the best changeups in the minors." They got Henry Lealani from the Yankees.

They got Miguel Mendez from the Padres.

And all of a sudden, uh, the, the hitters still stand out, but the pitchers are a lot closer.

And I think it's, it's not only one of the best systems, but now it's one of the best balanced systems.
