In this story:

The MLB has started a new initiative during 2024 MLB Spring Training called Spring Breakout. These 16 games will showcase each club's best prospects as they are pitted against one another.

Over 60 of the top-100 of the league's best prospects will be taking their turn at getting game action. It's an incredible opportunity for fans to perhaps get their first look at their team's best up and coming players.

On Friday, the Chicago Cubs will take on the White Sox in a crosstown matchup!

Our partners at STN have created a unique opportunity where you can watch these games for free, live, right here on Inside the Cubs!

That game will take place against the Chicago White Sox' prospect team and will begin on March 15 at 5:05 p.m. ET.

Of note, as a few outlets have pointed out, the Cubs are having more top-100 prospects compete in the game than any other team in the league. It is also important to note that while Chicago is now perhaps the favorite to when the NL Central this season, they also have the second ranked farm system in the MLB. 

The only top-100 prospect who will not be attending is Michael Busch.

That is a potent combination for the Cubs to get on a roll and continue to supplement their Big League roster with high-end prospects while also having ammunition to pull off blockbuster trades. 

Fans will want to tune into the livestream as it may be their first look at what could be the future of the next Chicago Cubs dynasty.
