Led by Pitcher of the Year Andrew Painter (Phillies) and history-making MVP Josue Briceño (Tigers), MLB Pipeline has picked this year’s best players from the desert showcase.

Maybe the traditional counting stats don’t jump off the charts, but allow MLB.com‘s Mike Petriello to make a case for why a Cooperstown plaque could possibly, somehow, be in the cards for Zack Wheeler.

There are signs that the former first-round pick, still just 30 years old, could be a high-upside signing with star potential — thanks to the flashes he showed throughout the postseason of the dominant pitcher he used to be.

The future Hall of Famer helped lead the Tigers to a World Series championship in 1984 — with a knee injury, thanks to a Halloween costume.

Four prospects on MLB Pipeline’s Top 100 list were added to rosters ahead of Tuesday’s deadline — among a total of 38 from club Top 30 lists.

Chris Sale and Tarik Skubal both earned pitching Triple Crowns this season. Will they take home Cy Young Awards? Find out tonight on MLB Network starting at 6 p.m. ET.
