Once considered one of the elite in baseball, the Dodgers system has thinned out thanks to trades, graduations, and attrition. The system is now merely good, but intriguing and still capable of meeting the big league club’s needs on the field and in trade.
An underwhelming 2018 draft signing haul as well as a few bust in recent early rounds have eaten into the top portion of the system while the middle tiers have expanded thanks to a talented development staff’s ability to get the most out of players. A handful of international signings have also started to gain a foothold in stateside ball, with several interesting arms beginning to push for opportunities at the full season level.
