TORONTO — I’ll fully admit that I wrote a much, much longer intro waxing poetic about the state of the Toronto Blue Jays’ farm system and how the now-open window of contention has shifted the philosophy of how it’s used.
That was apparent in the trades the club made over the past 18 months, with the exclamation point coming at the trade deadline, when they dealt away last year’s No. 2 prospect, Austin Martin, and No. 7 prospect Simeon Woods Richardson in exchange for a top-of-the-rotation starter in Jose Berríos. From hoarding, collecting and adding prospects, to now picking and choosing who to keep and who to use as timely trade chips to get to a World Series.Instead of rambling on about the state of the system — it’s good, not great, but with some precious high-end prospects — and the influx of talent coming thanks to a pair of compensation picks in the upcoming 2022 draft, I’ll let you get straight into the prospects.
As always, this list is built off a combination of personal preference and opinion, as well as the knowledge of many people around the game much smarter than me who’ve seen these players first-hand on a regular basis. Here’s a quick look at how my top 50 lists have broken down in each of the past three years if you want to go back in time:
