Six more from Top 30 lol.

Might be the very worst farm system in baseball now.

Mike Elias taking another step towards turning things around for 2026.

 

KW is even less of a riverboat gambling...AJ Preller must be addicted to being the center of attention every trade deadline and off season (except this most recent one).

Gutted the system trading for high leverage relievers last year.

Only three games behind the Dodgers.

Saw where one of the first grades for this was just a C+ for Baltimore.

What gives?

San Diego solved a lot of the problems in their pitching staff when they brought in Miller and Sears. However, their offensive issues remained a big concern. However, O'Hearn's bat is a massive upgrade at first base. Luis Arraez was not doing
terribly, but the gap between him and the All-Star is a massive one.

He and Laureano strengthens what was already a good staring lineup.

The one downside to the trade was just how many prospects the Padres had to part ways with. According to MLB
Network's Jon Morosi, Bateman highlights a list of six top prospects that left San Diego to make the deal happen.

Blockbuster trades at the MLB trade deadline can gut a team's farm system. The Padres proved that in the span of just two trades this season.
