X's, O's and MLB bros: Opposing shortstops play tic-tac-toe

So leave it to a pair of opposing shortstops to work in a friendly tic-tac-toe clash DURING a baseball game. On Saturday at Busch Stadium, the Nationals’ Nasim Nuñez and the Cardinals’ Masyn Winn were the participants, marking X's and O's in the infield dirt between innings.

Rookies -- and big names at that -- made their impacts felt in 2026. Eighteen of the first 25 players ranked on MLB Pipeline's preseason Top 100 Prospects list appeared in the big leagues, and many of them had seasons worthy of hardware.

Scott Harris was a man of his word. At the Tigers’ 2025 end-of-season press conference, the club's president of baseball operations mentioned two 20-year-olds who dominated Double-A that season -- a pair everyone watching knew to be Kevin McGonigle and Max Clark -- would factor into their 2026 Major League plans. Sure enough, McGonigle is the AL Rookie of the Year favorite, and Clark looks capable of holding down Detroit’s center field for the near and possibly distant future.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Sebastian Walcott arrived in the Arizona Fall League a year ago, ready to lay the groundwork for a special season. The Rangers shortstop had conquered Double-A at age 19, earning Texas League Prospect of the Year accolades. Using the Fall League to create a better bat path to maximize his power while also honing his consistency on defense would help his chances of playing for Great Britain in the World Baseball Classic in March 2026 and making his big league debut later in the year.

CHICAGO -- Enough is enough. You can officially put the ‘Can José Ramírez perform in the playoffs?’ narrative to rest.
