Significant changes to MLB farm systems occurred after the 2025 draft and the trade deadline as new prospects joined organizations and teams exchanged young talent. Current dollar valuations are roughly 5% lower than winter projections because additional lower-tier prospects will be revealed during deeper system reviews. Each prospect receives an objective dollar value based on rank, although subjective ranking decisions persist and top-50 prospects carry disproportionate value. The Mets rose from a preseason ninth-place rank to the top spot thanks to a top-heavy system featuring multiple Top 100 prospects largely in Triple-A or the major leagues. Ronny Mauricio and Luisangel Acuna graduated this year, and Christian Scott graduated last year.
Much has changed since we ranked all 30 MLB farm systems before the 2025 season. A big part of that shift has come in the past few weeks as the most recent prospects joined their new teams via the MLB draft and then front offices added -- or subtracted -- young players at the MLB trade deadline. With two of the most impactful periods for any farm system in the rearview, it's time to see how all 30 organizations stack up
These dollar figures are a little lower (roughly 5% on average) than they'll be in the winter, basically because when I do the deep dive on each system, it will reveal/upgrade more lower-tier prospects for each team, but it mostly won't affect the higher-tier prospects. This is a pretty objective process (each prospect has a dollar value based on their rank).
