"The highest-drafted Canadian outfielder ever, Caissie signed with the Padres for $1,200,004 as the 45th overall pick in 2020, but he never played a game in the organization. San Diego dealt him with three other prospects and Zach Davies to get Yu Darvish and Victor Caratini from the Cubs that December. He has handled aggressive assignments with aplomb, powering High-A South Bend (2022) and Double-A Tennessee (2023) to championships"
"Caissie has had no difficulty producing against much older competition, creating huge raw power with the bat speed and loft in his left-handed swing and the still-growing strength and leverage in his 6-foot-3 frame. He could provide 30 or more homers per season, with his pop playing from left-center to the right-field line and against both lefties and righties."
The Miami Marlins traded pitcher Edward Cabrera to the Chicago Cubs, acquiring three prospects including top Cubs farm system player Owen Caissie. Caissie is a 23-year-old left-handed hitter who hit .286 with 22 homers and 55 RBIs at Triple-A Iowa last season and has five major-league hits in 27 plate appearances. He can play all three outfield positions and has a .280 minor-league average, .384 on-base, 81 home runs and 301 RBIs across 505 games. Miami also received infielder Cristian Hernandez (Chicago's No. 11 prospect) and Edgardo DeLeon. MLB.com projects Caissie as a power hitter with potential 30-plus homers.
