Cardinals Farm System Rises to No. 2 After Sell-Off
A wave of prospect-focused trades over the past 13 months has vaulted St. Louis to the second-ranked farm system in baseball.
The St. Louis Cardinals have climbed to the No. 2 farm system in MLB following an aggressive rebuild-via-trade approach. Over the past 13 months, the organization dealt four All-Stars and a total of 10 players from the active roster, all in exchange for prospects. The surge in prospect capital is reflected in updated post-trade-deadline farm system rankings. Beat reporter Derrick Goold notes the jump was expected given the volume of talent moved out.
