Vols’ Dynamic Duo Eyeing Top-15 MLB Slots
Tennessee baseball signees Jared Grindlinger and Trevor Condon have caught the eye of ESPN draft guru Kiley McDaniel, who slots them at No. 13 to the St. Louis Cardinals and No. 14 to the Miami Marlins respectively in his 2026 mock draft. Grindlinger’s two-way prowess—three-pitch command from the left and above-average bat-to-ball skills—earns him a rare two-project development plan, while Condon’s blend of plus hitting and plus speed makes him too tantalizing to pass up. Meanwhile, fellow Volunteer Teagan Kuhns waits in the wings with no landing spot yet assigned, though insiders expect him to crack round one.
In today’s groundbreaking news, the world collectively gasps that two college athletes might actually play professional baseball. Local die-hard Vols fans have already begun pre-ordering custom cardboard cutouts of Grindlinger’s scoreboard stats and lighting tiki torches in Condon’s honor. Because if there’s one thing Americans love more than fried cheese, it’s overhyping spring board games masquerading as “draft projections.” Stay tuned for our next exposé on the shocking revelation that baseballs, in fact, contain leather.
