"There were some major leaps taken by Blue Jays prospects last year. Beginning with Trey Yesavag e, the Blue Jays pitching pipeline was all of a sudden looking very strong. Yesavage made his MLB debut in September and then had one of the best postseasons by a rookie pitcher ever, leading the Blue Jays to a World Series appearance. There were also break out years from Gage Stanifer and Johnny King, while Khal Stephen, Kendry Rojas turned heads as well."
"According to MLB pipeline, being ranked 20th at mid-season was the best ranking they had given the Blue Jays in at least three years, but heading into 2026, Toronto's system isn't as frowned upon by industry experts as it once was. In fact it was regarded as one of the nine farm systems that improved the most over the past year, and the Blue Jays have an opportunity to continue to reap the rewards of that assessment."
The Blue Jays' farm system improved notably from being a bottom-ten system in 2025 to one of the nine most-improved systems entering 2026. MLB Pipeline ranked the system 20th at midseason 2025, its best in at least three years. Prospects made major leaps, led by Trey Yesavage's MLB debut and exceptional postseason, while Gage Stanifer, Johnny King, Khal Stephen and Kendry Rojas also broke out. The 2025 draft added high school first-rounder JoJo Parker plus Arjun Nimmala, Yohendrick Pinango, Victor Arias and RJ Schreck for position-player depth. Prospect capital helped acquire veterans such as Shane Bieber, Louis Varland and Ty France at the deadline.
