Longtime public prospect writer Keith Law has released his annual ranking of MLB organization farm systems, under the banner of The Athletic. He ranked the Mariners 11th out of 30, noting with shock that Seattle’s farm is in fact “good”. Law attributes the improvements to “Jerry DiPoto (sic), who hasn’t traded a prospect away in several weeks now”, as well as consecutive promising drafts, a couple high-profile international signees in Julio Rodriguez and Noelvi Marte (though Law does once again mistakenly list the two as having signed the same year), and of course the trades that started the “step-back” in the first place.
