## Resource

Cubs’ farm system just got a major upgrade with three top-10 rookies from the latest draft—Cade Townsend, Caden Surell, and Myles Bailey—all now locked in the top 10. Jefferson Rojas stays No. 1, followed by Josiah Harnston and Jackson Wiggins. Townsend, a first-rounder, boasts elite spin potential and a 3.94 ERA in college, while Surell and Bailey bring raw power (23 and 13 homers, respectively) but need to improve their swing-and-miss rates. Townsend’s No. 7 ranking might be a bit low given his strikeout dominance and high-upside pitching profile—currently third among Cubs’ pitching prospects. This trio injects fresh energy and diverse strengths into the system, making it an exciting time for Chicago baseball.
