Over the last few seasons, the Boston Red Sox farm system has been brimming with talent. The pipeline has been regarded as one of the best in the league, with potential impact players on both sides of the ball littering the system.
But now, new rankings are starting to roll out, and the Red Sox are slipping. This slide started mid-season last year, when MLB Pipeline dropped them from No. 3 in the 2025 preseason rankings all the way down to No. 11 last August. Now, The Athletic's Keith Law and
ESPN's Kiley McDaniel are following suit, ranking Boston 10th and 11th, respectively.
