Baseball America's Matt Eddy joins Eno for this episode of Rates & Barrels. The duo, unsurprisingly, digs deep into the minors, discussing this year's amateur draft, the minor leaguers who were on the move at the trade deadline, and the sellers that did a good job of restocking or reinforcing their farm systems.
After that, they discuss the changes at the minor league level this season and prospects to watch at the MLB level for the rest of the season.
