A report was just released ranking each MLB team's farm system and the Blue Jays seem to be in a very bad position.
While the Blue Jays do have a ton of young skilled players and were able to acquire a lot of solid prospects at the trade deadline there are currently ranked 24th on the list.
The Blue jays two top prospects are out, Orelvis Martinez is currently serving a suspension for PEDs while pitcher Ricky Tiedemann just underwent Tommy John surgery.
Orelvis Martinez's PED suspension and Ricky Tiedemann's Tommy John surgery mean the Jays will be without two of their best preseason prospects in the second half, and injuries to pitchers Adam Macko, Kendry Rojas, Landen Maroudis and Brandon Barriera have further taken the shine off in '24. On a positive note, Toronto was aggressive in bulking up the system at the Trade Deadline and earned praise for picking up prospects Jake Bloss and Will Wagner from the Astros, Jonatan Clase from the Mariners and Charles McAdoo from the Pirates in particular. That has buoyed the system for now, and maybe strong 2025s from first-rounders Trey Yesavage and Arjun Nimmala can provide further boosts next year. - Callis
While the Blue Jays do have some problems with their prospects, they still have some great young talent with Arjun Nimmala, Trey Yesavage, Jonatan Clase and Jake Bloss which has fans hopeful for the future.
