Ethan Salas has been called up by the San Diego Padres. Got this an a few other cards signed when he was with High A Fort Wayne (Tincaps).

Nothing like spending $80 on 10 Max Clark Call Up cards and opening up the package to this…

Birthdate: 05/25/2003
Top 100 ranking: #47 overall
Rays prospect ranking: #1 team prospect
2025: .213-23-55-22 at AAA
Pros: strong defender at short; plus speed; huge power

Birthdate: 101/26/00 (24 yo)
Top 100 ranking: not ranked
Pirates prospect ranking: #12 team prospect, third highest team pitching prospect
2025: 3.47 ERA with 119 K in 98.2 IP at AAA
Pros: Four pitch type mix results in K's; took Guardians training to heart and really improved across the board since being drafted. Played in 2025 All Star Futures game.

First card: 2022 Bowman Draft 1st #BD-71

According to reports, the Pirates are set to call up RHP Bubba Chandler.
Birthdate: 9/14/02 (almost 23 yo)
Top 100 ranking: #7 overall, top MLB pitching prospect
Pirates prospect ranking: #2 team prospect, only behind #1 overall Konnor Griffin
2025: 5-6 with 4.05 ERA over 100 IP in AAA
Pros: Highly athletic - two sport star in HS; uses 4 pitches effectively, including an elite level fastball; praised for being a true pitcher and not just heat. Does not have to be the ace with Skenes around.
Cons: Has struggled as of late in AAA. Will be reliever for remainder of 2025, digging slightly into his short term hobby value.
