"Law separated the teams into different Tiers, and then numbered them 1-30. The Blue Jays ranked in Tier 6, the second lowest, and 25th overall. The other teams in Tier 6 were Miami Marlins (No. 22) followed by Colorado Rockies, West Sacramento Athletics, Toronto and Texas Rangers. Law wrote, "In fairness, they nearly won the World Series, and traded a lot of prospects to get there, sending nearly all of their top pitching prospects after Trey Yesavage to other clubs to bolster their roster for the stretch run.""
"They nailed their first pick last year, prep shortstop JoJo Parker, but lost their second-rounder for signing Anthony Santander, and this year won't have a second-rounder either while they'll also see their first pick knocked back 10 spots because they dared to spend money to try to win, tsk, tsk. Anyway, it's an uphill battle to get this system back up into the top"
The 2025 Blue Jays traded prospect capital at the deadline to pursue the AL East title and won the AL pennant for the first time in 32 years, falling one or two plays short of a World Series victory. Independent farm-system rankings placed the Blue Jays in Tier 6, 25th overall, making their system one of the weaker ones in the league. The club moved many of its top pitching prospects to bolster the major-league roster for the postseason run. Draft consequences include a lost second-round pick for signing Anthony Santander, another expected lost second-rounder, and a first pick moved back ten spots because of spending-related penalties. The team did successfully draft prep shortstop JoJo Parker with its first pick. Replenishing traded prospects and recovering lost draft resources will be an uphill task to restore the system's depth.
