The Athletic’s Keith Law has ranked the Red Sox farm system No. 23 heading into the 2023 season.
Law ranked Boston’s farm system No. 20 entering both the 2021 and ‘22 seasons.
Law wrote, “Their group of position-player prospects is probably in the upper half of farm systems, but their group of pitching prospects is one of the weakest. They might not have a future MLB starter anywhere on their full-season rosters; the best of those candidates all have huge reliever risk, at least.”

Law’s top 100 prospect list includes four Red Sox players. He ranks shortstop Marcelo Mayer No. 11, center fielder/shortstop Ceddanne Rafaela No. 37, first baseman Triston Casas No. 40 and center fielder Miguel Bleis No. 72.
Chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom told MassLive.com’s Fenway Rundown podcast earlier this week he believes “pretty strongly” the Red Sox are in a better now than in 2019 when ownership hired him.
‘What I think is not just my opinion but opinions around the game would say a dramatically improved longterm talent base,” Bloom said.
