Hey there, everyone — welcome to the Down on the Farm Podcast. Host Bryan Grosnick will be covering an assortment of topics related to minor-league baseball with some of the game’s brightest minds from inside and outside the industry.
Show #5 features Melissa Lockard of The Athletic, who covers the farm systems (and more) for the Oakland Athletics and the San Francisco Giants. Once Bryan gets past his issues with “The Athletic” versus “the Athletics,” they discuss the interesting new names that’ve come into the Oakland org, which prospects have made the most progress for both teams, and what 2023 holds for some of the more interesting minor-league names. It’s a must-listen for prospect followers and fans of each team.
(Bonus! Melissa mentioned a recent interview with Ed Sprague, farm director for the A’s … and you can check out that article here.)
