Bubba Chandler will be used as a bulk reliever w/ the Pirates. The team views him as a starter long term and he can get starts this year, but the club wants him to get Major League experience and this is consistent with the role/expectations of other young pitchers like Ashcraft

Growing up, the Chandlers would have family basketball games where Bubba, the baby of the family, would team up with his dad, Ruben. His sisters, Jordan and Cody, and his mom, Bobbi, would normally win. It was a family of athletes, and Chandler’s older sisters set the pace by being stars in track, basketball and softball.

Three top fantasy baseball prospects - Bubba Chandler, Sal Stewart, Brandon Sproat - that can make big impacts. These MLB prospects are waiver wire pickups or stashes.
