This week's edition of the Cubs Weekly Podcast is all about the future. We welcome in MLB Pipeline's senior writer Jim Callis to break down the organization's top prospects, including how Brailyn Marquez's injury affects his stock, when Brennen Davis might arrive at Wrigley Field and initial takeaways from the Cubs' trade deadline haul.

Plus, news and notes on Reginald Preciado, Kohl Franklin, Alexander Canario, Caleb Kilian, Cristian Hernandez and which prospect the Cubs received at the deadline was most surprising.

Tony Andracki and Lance Brozdowski also preview the Marquee Sports Network Top 20 Cubs prospect midseason list that is set to hit the digital sphere in the coming days.

After the Cubs traded away Yu Darvish and Victor Caratini in exchange for Zach Davies and four prospects, Cole Wright had an extensive chat with Jed Hoyer (4:17) about the deal and what comes next for the franchise. Wright and Tony Andracki break down the move and analyze the biggest takeaways from Hoyer's statements on the trade.

Plus, MLB Pipeline's Jim Callis (26:28) also stops by the podcast to provide a scouting report on the four prospects the Cubs received from the Padres and how the farm system is shaping up entering 2021.

After the Cubs wrapped up their 5-round Draft, the organization's vice president of scouting Dan Kantrovitz stopped by the Cubs Weekly Podcast to share his thoughts on the picks.

Kantrovitz is in his first year running the draft for the Cubs and believes it could not have gone any better, from the Ed Howard pick 16th overall to Koen Moreno in the 5th round.

Then, MLB Pipeline's senior writer Jim Callis shared his thoughts on the Cubs draft with Cole Wright and Tony Andracki. 

In addition to evaluating each of the 5 picks, Callis explains what comes next for the Cubs and other MLB teams after the Draft and also made a bold statement about a current prospect in the Cubs system.

Chuck Garfien is joined by MLB.com Senior Writer Jim Callis to discuss the White Sox farm system in 2018. Callis explains why they named Dylan Cease the 2018 Pitcher of the Year in the minor leagues, why the Cubs will come to regret trading Cease and Eloy Jimenez to the White Sox, how soon Nick Madrigal will be ready for the majors, what outfielder besides Jimenez and Robert has the highest ceiling, why Kodi Medeiros could become a lights out left-handed reliever, plus thoughts on Zack Collins, Alec Hansen, Steele Walker and many more.
