The annual preseason farm system rankings are out over at MLB Pipeline, and it’s time again for everyone to get upset with another site’s judgement of the Oakland Athletics farm system. Oakland ranks 25th by MLB’s judgement, which is a slight bump from 25th at the midseason mark of 2023 but is lower than their 22nd ranking from last spring. Much of this drop is to graduation, especially that of Tyler Soderstrom, but Oakland has added some important pieces for Pipeline’s judgement.
Their top prospect in the system was of course Jacob Wilson, who had a solid professional debut and has looked great this spring.
