The baseball world will descend on San Diego for the Winter Meetings next week and Jim Callis, Jonathan Mayo and Jason Ratliff have you covered with everything you need to know to be ready from a prospect perspective.

First, they look at some of the biggest prospect hauls in trades from recent Winter Meetings -- from Lucas Giolito to Dansby Swanson -- with Jim and Jonathan declaring a winner for each deal. After touching on the first-ever Draft Lottery, the trio previews the Rule 5 Draft by looking at the best picks made over the past decade.

They're then joined by A's scouting director, and this year's West Coast Scout of the Year, Eric Kubota before wrapping up, as always, with questions from the listener mailbag.
