## Resource

The Giants' farm system continues to gain recognition, and this time it's the organization's infield talent getting attention. We break down where San Francisco ranks among baseball's best systems for infield prospects, which young players are driving the rise, and the big decisions the Giants will eventually have to make as more of that talent approaches the majors. Plus, the Giants are one of five MLB teams entering a new partnership with Kalshi, raising some interesting questions about prediction markets and their growing relationship with professional sports. Finally, we take a closer look at Jancel Villarroel, the young prospect acquired in the Kai-Wei Teng trade, and what he could add to the Giants' increasingly deep farm system.
