What to look for from every top Red Sox prospect in 2021

It was hard to believe that it was just three years ago that the Red Sox had the worst-ranked farm system in baseball. It wasn’t a problem when the team was winning the World Series, but when the Red Sox slipped to third place in 2019, it cost GM Dave Dombrowski his job and ultimately a trade of franchise icon Mookie Betts.

In this article, we will look at what reasonable expectations would be for each of the top ten prospects in MLB.com’s Red Sox rankings. Much of the information I gathered came from the comprehensive scouting reports from the site, as well as minor league stats from baseball-reference.
