Welcome back, everybody, to Fantasy Baseball Festival of Friendship right here on our Fantasy

0:14.2

Bros. MLB channel, the Welsh and I are back here, and we're talking about prospects and what

0:18.9

a prospect group we have this year in 2026.

0:23.3

It's an incredible grouping, some big names, making some big noise right now in spring training.

0:28.5

And who better to break them all down than Jeff Ponce from baseball America?

0:32.5

Jeff, it's good to see you, my friend.
