Cam Smith Invited To Spring Training
3 mins agoHouston Astros infield prospect Cam Smith, who was acquired from the Chicago Cubs this offseason in the trade that sent outfielder Kyle Tucker to Chicago, will be at major-league spring training as a non-roster invitee, according to the team. In addition to Smith, who is listed as Houston's No. 1 prospect per MLB Pipeline, shortstop/third base prospect Brice Matthews (No. 4) will be in camp with the Astros. At Single-A Myrtle Beach, High-A South Bend and Double-A Tennessee last year, Smith hit an impressive .313/.396/.609 with a 1.004 OPS, seven home runs, 24 RBI and 20 runs scored, albeit in just 32 games played after he was the 14th overall pick in June out of Florida State. Smith will most likely begin the 2025 season at Double-A Corpus Christi, but he's now in line to be the team's third baseman of the future with the Astros moving on from Alex Bregman this offseason.
