Red Sox Climb Higher In Fangraphs Farm System Rankings

The Red Sox have undergone quite the farm system revamp over the last four years. When the franchise moved on from now-ex-general manager Dave Dombrowski in 2019, Boston had the lowest-ranked farm system in baseball.

Boston’s current chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom took over baseball operations with hopes to compete in the present as well as build for the future. Four years later, the Red Sox are competing for a playoff spot all while having one of the top farm systems in Major League Baseball.

Recently, Fangraphs listed Boston as the No. 5 ranked farm system in baseball. The website once again updated the rankings after a series of prospects moved around the league at the trade deadline on Tuesday. In the latest list, the Red Sox moved up the ladder, ranking as the No. 3 farm system in baseball.

Boston benefited over the years as Jarren Duran, Triston Casas and Brayan Bello have elevated and graduated from the minor leagues. In 2023, plenty of emerging talent makes up the group including Marcelo Mayer, Nick Yorke, Ceddanne Rafaela, Shane Drohan and Roman Anthony.

Four years after having a farm system in baseball’s basement, the Red Sox are equipped for the future with a competitive young core at the major league level with plenty of promising prospects on the way.
