A new season of MLB action, a new season of top prospects ... and a new season of cardboard treasures inside.

Baseball America's 2025 Preview & Top 100 Prospects issue is here and just like its Best of 2024 Awards issue and its 2024 Draft Preview this one is jam-packed with everything one needs to know at its time of year -- and it again also includes some bonus collectibles.

Beyond the player rankings, profiles and scouting reports for this season, this issue's bonus insert should add to its demand. The inserts are similar to Sports Illustrated for Kids trading cards, which are heavily collected and, in the case of iconic stars and newcomers, often quite valuable.
