Podcast: Crews' debut, interview with Rays' Double-A broadcaster

August 27th, 2024

Big league rosters don't expand for a few days, but the prospect world is already abuzz with callup news -- specifically the promotion of Dylan Crews. MLB's No. 3 prospect made his Nationals debut on Monday night, going 0-for-3 with a walk.

On the latest MLB Pipeline Podcast, prospect gurus Jonathan Mayo and Sam Dykstra dig into the 2023 second-overall pick's first season in pro ball and provide analysis on Washington's decision to call him up.

Following the break down, the pair highlights Double-A Montgomery's prospect-laden roster. They welcome on Jack Sadighian, the broadcaster for the Rays' affiliate, and talk about the lineup, which features three Top 100 prospects -- Carson Williams (MLB No. 6), Xavier Isaac (MLB No. 21) and Brayden Taylor (MLB No. 50).
