On this week’s Future Projection, Ben Badler and Carlos Collazo talk about the Cesar Altagracia age fraud story, including details from Ben on MLB’s expanded investigations into players falsifying ages.
After that, discussion moves to the start of an organization overview series, beginning with the National League East. With updated top 10s now live at Baseball America for each team in the division, Ben and Carlos talk through each team and try to get a feel for the state of the farm.
At the end of the show, the two take listener questions with topics that include a power-armed 2026 college name to know, whether or not Billy Carlson will be a top-five pick next year and a question about 2024 Latin American signees with the best usable in-game power.
