Red Sox farm system drops in rankings after Rutschman trade

The Boston Red Sox have seen their farm system drop to 21st in Baseball America's rankings following their trade for catcher Adley Rutschman. The team dealt away top prospects Anthony Eyanson, Kyson Witherspoon, and Enddy Azocar in the blockbuster move, leaving Franklin Arias as the only Boston player ranked in the top 100, now at No. 2. Justin Gonzales and Franklin Primera have emerged as notable prospects in the system, with Gonzales hitting 15 home runs in High-A Greenville and Primera performing well since his promotion to Single-A Salem. The Red Sox will attempt to end a five-game losing streak against the Toronto Blue Jays on Thursday afternoon.
