Lazaro Montes to Contend for Early Triple-A Promotion?

Seattle Mariners outfield prospect Lazaro Montes will likely begin the 2026 season with Double-A Arkansas, but should be in the mix to push for a promotion to the top level given his previous experience at Double-A.

Josue De Paula Emerging as Top Outfield Prospect
