Quinn Mathews (P - STL)
8/2/26 12:01 AM - Prospect News: Stash List #8: Pick Culpepper or Kade In The Shade. Graduated from Prospect News: Stash List #7: Can Clark Be Our Superman? Quinn Mathews, Max Clark 1. Mariners LHP Kade Anderson (21, AA) Seattle has no shortage of options in reshaping their rotation this week. I suspect they’re hoping to send two starters at once to maximize return, offloading Luis Castillo and opening a path for Anderson. Trade winds seem to be blowing toward Chicago. I never like predicting what a team might like in another organization, but the Cubs have pieces of just about every variety and would probably love to move Kevin Alcantara, Matt Shaw and maybe even Moises Ballesteros. If Kade Anderson isn’t promoted within the few weeks, there ought to be an investigation.
