Last year the Tampa Bay Rays farm system produced a ton of talent, graduating Wander Franco, Shane McClanahan, Randy Arozarena, Drew Rasmussen, and Taylor Walls and still having a strong system behind them.
No doubt the Rays organization took a step back, since they don’t have the best prospect in the land any more, but the farm remains as deep as any in the league.
I wrote up these analyses with consultation from Danny Russell, Homin Lee and Scott Grauer.
1: Shane Baz, RHP
Shane Baz was the 12th overall pick in the 2017 draft by the Pittsburgh Pirates and was acquired by the Rays in the infamous Chris Archer for Tyler Glasnow, Austin Meadows, and PTBNL that ended up being Baz.
