Also, I love the Spring breakout games, prospect porn baby!

There's a ton of video posted from our reporters that cover Jays exclusively from other outlets, it's great.

Nah, they usually break on check swings, hah!

Wow!

I believe it's Jimenez job to lose, he projects well and the glove is good.

Sawyer Gibson-Long should be ready also.

K....

Seriously though, back away from the ledge folks. 😅

I just read this, oy-vey... injuries suck.

Well he was golfing with Ernie and the Babe the day he announced this, it's just time to hang it up. He'll be missed.

Morons wanted to designate him.

Buck's gone fishing folks, what a BJ Legend he absolutely will be put on the LOE, and his replacement is Joe Siddal and Dan's son will fill in I'm sure.

BA's Deep Five on the Jays from youtube...

Cool watch/listen with BA's Collozo and Badler on Treys draft day...

BA dropped their Org ranks yesterday, Jays fall in at 17, I thought they'd be slightly higher but mid pack is a big step... 1. Pittsburgh Pirates Top Prospect: Konnor Griffin, SS Top 30 Prospects 2026 International Scouting Report Having the best prospect in baseball in Griffin is a great start, but it’s the depth of top-tier prospects, including Bubba Chandler, Edward Florentino and Seth Hernandez, that puts the Pirates on top of the farm system rankings this year. The team’s second-tier depth is less impressive, but it’s better to have elite prospects in quantities than depth. Previous Ranks 2025: 16 2024: 13 2023: 10 2022: 11 2021: 21 2. St. Louis Cardinals Top Prospect: JJ Wetherholt, SS Top 30 Prospects 2026 International Scouting Report The Cardinals are in the throes of the organization’s first modern rebuild, and they boast one of the most talented farm systems in the game. There’s a good balance of impact position players in Wetherholt, Rainiel Rodriguez and Joshua Baez and impact pitching with Liam Doyle, Quinn Mathews and Brandon Clarke. Previous Ranks 2025: 18 2024: 20 2023: 9 2022: 18 2021: 12 3. Milwaukee Brewers Top Prospect: Jesús Made, SS Top 30 Prospects 2026 International Scouting Report BA’s 2025 Organization of the Year, the Brewers are among the best in the game throughout all facets of scouting and player development. Four of their top 10 prospects are homegrown international signings, they find late-round gems and have a system with both impact talent at the top and depth at all levels. Previous Ranks 2025: 9 2024: 2 2023: 13 2022: 25 2021: 28 4. Detroit Tigers Top Prospect: Kevin McGonigle, SS Top 30 Prospects 2026 International Scouting Report Few organizations can come close to matching the top-end prospect talent the Tigers have, led by McGonigle, Max Clark and Bryce Rainer. The system drops off pretty quickly after that, but the recent investments in high-ceiling pitchers could pay off in 2027 and beyond. Previous Ranks 2025: 2 2024: 5 2023: 26 2022: 6 2021: 5 5. Tampa Bay Rays Top Prospect: Brody Hopkins, RHP Top 30 Prospects 2026 International Scouting Report The Rays have added eight prospects to their Top 30 since the start of December through trades and international signings. Doing so has greatly increased the team’s depth of prospect talent. The system still lacks truly elite prospects, but it now has a wide array of players who could emerge as prospects in 2026. Previous Ranks 2025: 6 2024: 7 2023: 6 2022: 2 2021: 1 6. Cleveland Guardians Top Prospect: Travis Bazzana, 2B Top 30 Prospects 2026 International Scouting Report Cleveland’s farm system is one of the deepest in the game, with a litany of hitting and pitching prospects and success stories from both the amateur and international markets. Previous Ranks 2025: 7 2024: 19 2023: 4 2022: 12 2021: 11 7. New York Mets Top Prospect: Nolan McLean, RHP Top 30 Prospects 2026 International Scouting Report The Mets stand out for the depth and diversity of their prospect stock, even after trading Jett Williams and Brandon Sproat for Freddy Peralta. McLean is the No. 1 pitching prospect, while the organization also has top prospects at first base (Ryan Clifford), third base (Jacob Reimer) and center field (Carson Benge and A.J. Ewing). Their top eight prospects played at Double-A or higher, with McLean and Jonah Tong reaching MLB. Previous Ranks 2025: 12 2024: 8 2023: 5 2022: 16 2021: 19 8. Miami Marlins Top Prospect: Thomas White, LHP Top 30 Prospects 2026 International Scouting Report The Marlins’ progress is most evident on the mound, where top prospects White and Robby Snelling are nearing the major leagues. Position player help is close behind, with catcher Joe Mack and outfielders Owen Caissie and Kemp Alderman approaching readiness, while the lower minors are stocked with upside on both sides of the ball. Taken together, it represents the deepest and most credible promise the Marlins’ farm system has shown in years. Previous Ranks 2025: 21 2024: 27 2023: 20 2022: 20 2021: 10 9. Athletics Top Prospect: Leo De Vries, SS Top 30 Prospects 2026 International Scouting Report The A’s have been team in turmoil at the franchise level thanks to their nomadic wanderings toward Las Vegas, but on the field, the success of Nick Kurtz and Jacob Wilson combined with the impressive pitching prospect depth the team has built has vaulted the team into being a top-tier farm system. Previous Ranks 2025: 11 2024: 25 2023: 27 2022: 27 2021: 29 10. Seattle Mariners Top Prospect: Colt Emerson, SS Top 30 Prospects 2026 International Scouting Report Similar to last year, the Mariners boast one of the league’s most impressive top 10s, headlined by Emerson, Kade Anderson and Lazaro Montes. Beyond that, however, the talent drops off sharply between players 13–30. Notable names in that range include Korbyn Dickerson, Leandro Romero and Teddy McGraw. Previous Ranks 2025: 5 2024: 16 2023: 22 2022: 1 2021: 2 11. Baltimore Orioles Top Prospect: Samuel Basallo, C Top 30 Prospects 2026 International Scouting Report The Orioles had the largest bonus pool in last year’s draft and then sent three of their high-bonus 2025 draftees to the Rays to bring back Shane Baz, using the farm system to improve the big league club. While it led to a five-spot drop from where we had them ranked in mid December, a much-improved MLB rotation is the payoff. Previous Ranks 2025: 17 2024: 1 2023: 1 2022: 4 2021: 7 12. Minnesota Twins Top Prospect: Walker Jenkins, OF Top 30 Prospects 2026 International Scouting Report The Twins’ historic trade deadline sell-off added considerable talent to an already promising system. Minnesota has depth and balance, but many of the organization’s players come with a fair amount of risk. None more so than the trio at the top in Jenkins, Emmanuel Rodriguez and Connor Prielipp, all of whom are close to major league ready but have lengthy injury histories. Previous Ranks 2025: 8 2024: 14 2023: 21 2022: 14 2021: 8 13. Los Angeles Dodgers Top Prospect: Eduardo Quintero, OF Top 30 Prospects 2026 International Scouting Report The front of the Dodgers’ system is led by a quartet of high-upside outfielders with contrasting skill sets. From there, a lot of the group’s more intriguing prospects dealt with injuries in 2025. The system’s pitching talent could use a boost, too. The end result is system that ranks outside the top 10 for the first time since 2014. Previous Ranks 2025: 3 2024: 9 2023: 3 2022: 8 2021: 9 14. San Francisco Giants Top Prospect: Bryce Eldridge, 1B Top 30 Prospects 2026 International Scouting Report This system is in its best shape in years. Beyond Eldridge, the group has benefited from a bumper crop of young talent, including firecracker shortstop Josuar Gonzalez. There’s depth and upside in spades. Previous Ranks 2025: 24 2024: 22 2023: 18 2022: 17 2021: 14 15. Boston Red Sox Top Prospect: Payton Tolle, LHP Top 30 Prospects 2026 International Scouting Report Once a system dominated by high-end hitting talent, the Red Sox have seen things flip completely, and now seven of their top 10 prospects are pitchers. They have enviable close-to-the-majors pitching depth, but their position player prospects after Franklin Arias have a lot of questions. Previous Ranks 2025: 1 2024: 13 2023: 10 2022: 11 2021: 21 16. Washington Nationals Top Prospect: Eli Willits, SS Top 30 Prospects 2026 International Scouting Report Led by the 2025 No. 1 overall pick in Willits, the Nationals’ system leans heavily on shortstops and also boasts power arms aplenty in the top 10. Incoming head of ops Paul Toboni and his player development team now are tasked with coaxing more on-field production from the system’s players. Offseason trades for Harry Ford, Luis Perales and Gavin Fien help enhance the quality of the top 10. Now, half of Washington’s top 20 prospects were acquired in either 2025 or early 2026. Previous Ranks 2025: 14 2024: 15 2023: 7 2022: 26 2021: 30 17. Toronto Blue Jays Top Prospect: Trey Yesavage, RHP Top 30 Prospects 2026 International Scouting Report It was a banner season in 2025 for the Blue Jays’ farm system, as their revamped pitching development helped in the emergence of a World Series standout in Yesavage. The righthander leads a loaded top 10 group at the top of the system, but a lack of depth in the 11-20 range drags the system down. Previous Ranks 2025: 23 2024: 24 2023: 15 2022: 19 2021: 4 18. Chicago White Sox Top Prospect: Noah Schultz, LHP Top 30 Prospects 2026 International Scouting Report The White Sox have made significant strides in player development in recent years, but the development of Schultz and fellow lefthander Hagen Smith remains one of the big to-do items for 2026 and beyond. Shortstop Caleb Bonemer’s emergence as a top prospect gives the team another potential long-term building block. Previous Ranks 2025: 4 2024:18 2023: 28 2022: 30 2021: 20 19. Cincinnati Reds Top Prospect: Sal Stewart, 1B Top 30 Prospects 2026 International Scouting Report Chase Burns’ graduation dinged the Reds’ ranking, but the team has several prospects ready to help at the big league level. Stewart should fit right into the middle of the Reds’ lineup, and righthander Rhett Lowder is back to fit into the starting rotation at some point. Keep an eye on shortstop Tyson Lewis, who could make a big jump up our rankings in 2026. Previous Ranks 2025: 10 2024: 11 2023: 8 2022: 7 2021: 18 20. Philadelphia Phillies Top Prospect: Aidan Miller, SS Top 30 Prospects 2026 International Scouting Report Miller, Andrew Painter and Justin Crawford give the Phillies an enviable trio, but trades have sapped the system of depth. They’ll need to hit big on their draft picks to move back up the ranks. Previous Ranks 2025: 20 2024: 21 2023: 19 2022: 23 2021: 27 21. Kansas City Royals Top Prospect: Carter Jensen, C Top 30 Prospects 2026 International Scouting Report Jensen’s breakout last year gives the Royals another potential long-term regular to go with Bobby Witt Jr. and Maikel Garcia, but the team’s misses on three straight top 10 draft picks—Asa Lacy, Frank Mozzicato and Gavin Cross—have left a lasting mark. The early returns on 2024 first-rounder Jac Caglianone are much better, as he’s already graduated. Previous Ranks 2025: 27 2024: 30 2023: 29 2022: 5 2021: 13 22. Chicago Cubs Top Prospect: Moises Ballesteros, C Top 30 Prospects 2026 International Scouting Report The Cubs have boasted a strong top of the system for the past several seasons, with a trio of Top 100-caliber prospects. However, the system shallows out after the top and has a real lack of impact pitching. Previous Ranks 2025: 15 2024: 4 2023: 17 2022: 15 2021: 22 23. New York Yankees Top Prospect: George Lombard Jr., SS Top 30 Prospects 2026 International Scouting Report After trading 16 prospects during the 2025 season, the Yankees’ system is as fallow as it’s been in years. Elmer Rodriguez and Carlos Lagrange could see New York in 2026, while Lombard and fellow shortstop Dax Kilby both have high upsides and impact potential. Previous Ranks 2025: 25 2024: 10 2023: 16 2022: 13 2021: 16 24. Texas Rangers Top Prospect: Sebastian Walcott, SS Top 30 Prospects 2026 International Scouting Report Walcott is one of the game’s elite talents, and righthander Caden Scarborough was one of the game’s bigger breakouts in 2025. But the system needs major rebounds from its near-proximity prospects to supplement the big league roster. Bounce-backs from the 2024 draft class would go a long way, too. Previous Ranks 2025: 19 2024: 3 2023: 12 2022: 9 2021: 24 25. Arizona Diamondbacks Top Prospect: Ryan Waldschmidt, OF Top 30 Prospects 2026 International Scouting Report Arizona has doubled down on drafting solid hitters in recent drafts, a trend that should lead to a significant number of future big leaguers. But the question the team faces now is how many impactful big leaguers are currently down on the farm? Previous Ranks 2025: 22 2024: 2 2023: 10 2022: 17 2021: 10 26. Atlanta Braves Top Prospect: Cam Caminiti, LHP Top 30 Prospects 2026 International Scouting Report The Braves targeted bats in the draft for the first time in years, but the system’s strengths continue to revolve around the pitching depth with lots of uncertainty in the hitting ranks. Previous Ranks 2025: 28 2024: 26 2023: 30 2022: 22 2021: 6 27. Houston Astros Top Prospect: Xavier Neyens, SS Top 30 Prospects 2026 International Scouting Report For the better part of the last decade, the Astros’ system has ranked among the worst in the game. While no one is going to mistake this system for a top-half-of-the-league collection of talent, it’s full of higher-upside players giving it a risk-reward element. Houston boasts three high-upside teenagers in Neyens, outfielder Kevin Alvarez and recent international signee Albert Fermin. Previous Ranks 2025: 29 2024: 29 2023: 24 2022: 28 2021: 26 28. Los Angeles Angels Top Prospect: Tyler Bremner, RHP Top 30 Prospects 2026 International Scouting Report As has been the case in many recent years, the Angels have some intriguing prospects at the top of their system, but overall depth remains far below that of many other teams. Some of that is because of the team’s tendency to push players quickly to the majors, which means 2024 first-rounder Christian Moore doesn’t qualify as a prospect anymore. Previous Ranks 2025: 30 2024: 28 2023: 25 2022: 29 2021: 23 29. San Diego Padres Top Prospect: Ethan Salas, C Top 30 Prospects 2026 International Scouting Report The Padres’ system would rank in a more prominent spot had they not traded a slew of top 30 prospects—headlined by Leo De Vries—at last year’s deadline. Still only 19, Salas has reclaimed the top spot in the system followed by a trio of intriguing arms. But at the moment, this is a system that lacks depth and high-end talent. Previous Ranks 2025: 26 2024: 6 2023: 23 2022: 21 2021: 3 30. Colorado Rockies Top Prospect: Ethan Holliday, SS Top 30 Prospects 2026 International Scouting Report Paul DePodesta and the new Rockies brass have a steep mountain to climb given the current state of the farm system. Colorado has long targeted players with upside, but that promise too often fades once they reach the majors. Ethan Holliday and Charlie Condon are the organization’s top prospects, and even they come with major questions. Previous Ranks 2025: 13 2024: 23 2023: 14 2022: 24 2021: 25

It was a win the second the ink dried.

Don't forget Springer, lol

He's our closer with Yimi close behind...

They're going to trade him I bet.

Damn, Framber did well.
