Over the past few weeks, most major outlets have published their prospect rankings for the upcoming season, and the consensus is in: the Yankees still have one of the best prospect groups in all of baseball. Despite a number of graduations and trades, the Yankees’ farm system ranks as one of the most talented in the game.
There is no question the system has elite prospects. Even after the likes of Aaron Judge and Clint Frazier lost prospect eligibility in 2017, the farm is not lacking for premier talent, in the form of Gleyber Torres, Justus Sheffield, and Estevan Florial among others.
