The Red Sox farm system – having produced a constellation of talent in the past several years – is currently in what baseball experts believe is a low ebb. ESPN analyst Keith Law ranked Boston 24th among MLB farm systems in 2019, as much of the team’s young talent is either already in the majors, or has been traded.
The cupboard is not entirely bare, however, especially in the case of Bobby Dalbec. A 23-year-old third baseman, Dalbec has been in Red Sox spring training trying to test his strength against Major League competition.
