What is each MLB contender’s biggest x-factor? This will be the player that not necessarily be the team’s best player, but their performance will be important to help them into the postseason and further.
Over the last few years, the Houston Astros have struggled to develop top 100 prospects. While Houston currently has the 29th best system, they have some talent getting closer to the majors. One player on the rise is outfielder Alex Mckenna.
The pipeline of prospects is important to a team like the A’s and they have a few guys who can make an impact. Oakland’s main guys could make their mark on the big league team by next season.
The Cleveland Indians are starting the transition to a new core. With four prospects in the top-100 and the 13th-ranked system in all of baseball, the Indians are set up to have a very young, but very talented team in 2022.
Despite some recent graduations and trades of the Rays’ top prospects, they still have a solid farm system and are one of the best in the league in developing talent.
For the majority of the 2021 season, the Red Sox have been without Chris Sale. In August, however, that has not been the case as Sale was activated from the injured list three weeks ago.
The San Diego Padres have made quite a few big moves since A.J. Preller took over as GM. Although they have traded away a few good prospects, they still have a handful that could be big-time major leaguers.
We are reaching the home stretch of the 2021 MLB regular season. September is coming in the next few days. From there it is just thirty days and a series in October until the postseason gets underway. That is still a good amount of time for teams to make a series playoff push.
The White Sox farm system has fallen to one of the worst in baseball in 2021. That doesn’t mean it’s a failure by the organization. It means their recent top prospects have made the big club.
It is no secret that the Kansas City Royals love drafting pitchers. They have a deep farm system though, and it isn’t all pitching either. In fact, four of the players on this list are hitters.
The 2021 MLB Trade Deadline just passed with a ton of deals being made in one of the most exciting years in recent memory. Of course, the thing on most people’s minds was winners and losers.
Over the last few weeks, the Boston Red Sox farm system has reached new heights. The Red Sox currently have the ninth-best system in baseball and added more talent in the 2021 MLB Draft. One player who has gotten off to a hot start is TCU product, Phillip Sikes.
