Tyler Freeman is the second ranked prospect on the newly named Cleveland Guardians’ prospect list. The infielder is coming off of season-ending shoulder surgery he underwent in July.
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.
There is a full host of games around Major League Baseball on Tuesday, but fans will have one eye on Tampa Bay. The second-place Rays (43-30) host the first-place Boston Red Sox (43-29) in an American League East tilt, but that is not the only attraction.
Welcome back to our MLB top prospect update. Today we check in on the prospects for the American League Central teams.
Prior to the season, several of our writers came out with top-five prospect rankings for each team. We will be running down each of them, how they have done so far, and whether their stock has risen or dropped at all. Let’s start with the AL East.
The Pittsburgh Pirates are in the midst of a very long rebuild and will have to start developing their farm system for more long-term success than they have in the past. Let’s take a look at their top five prospects.
The Chicago Cubs’ farm system has a fascinating and somewhat unknown dynamic to it. Near the top of its ranks, feature players that might not have been expected to blossom into much up until more recently.
It has been a tough couple of years for the Rockies: back-to-back fourth-place finishes and the team decided to trade away their franchise star Nolan Arenado in the off-season.
Even after trading for Blake Snell and Yu Darvish this offseason, the San Diego Padres still have one of the top farm systems in the major leagues. With the perfect combination of homegrown talent and trade acquisitions, they have a real shot at going places this season. Not only that but with their current farm system, they have what it takes to contend for a while.
The Kansas City Royals have a farm system that is loaded with top-tier college arms, with several looking to get their first crack at the big league rotation this season. From top to bottom, the Royals have a top 15 farm system and with some breakouts this season, they could move higher. This top five includes two promising bats and three of the aforementioned college arms.
The Atlanta Braves have solid prospects on their way to the show. Their top five includes two outfielders, a catcher, a shortstop, and a pitcher and some of them will make an impact this season.
As Cleveland transitions into the post-Francisco Lindor era, they will need to rely on their very talented farm system. Baseball America currently has four prospects in Cleveland’s farm system in the top-100 and they are ranked 6th in all of baseball.
