The depth of the Yankees’ farm system has eroded over the last few years. Coming into the 2017 season, the Yankees ranked among the best systems in baseball. Since then, trades and players graduating to the big leagues have thinned out the organization’s stock of talent.
The general consensus is that the Yankees are currently developing a number of promising ballplayers, but that talent is distributed unevenly and concentrated at the lowest minor league levels. While there are talent gaps at High-A and Double-A, the organization does have some depth to speak of up the middle.
