Overview
- The Brewers rank No. 1 at $349 million in system value with eight top-100 prospects, led by No. 3 overall Jesus Made, after a year of strong development, savvy drafting and prospect additions in trades.
- McDaniel’s rankings convert FV grades into surplus-dollar values based on Craig Edwards’ research, which heavily rewards elite prospects; the Pirates’ total is inflated by No. 1 overall Konnor Griffin, while the Dodgers and Rays tie for the most quality depth.
- The Mets fall from a pre-trade No. 1 projection after sending two top-100 prospects for Freddy Peralta, yet still place fifth with a top-heavy core; Seattle ranks seventh with multiple near-term impact candidates.
- In the Nos. 101-200 superlatives, Seattle’s Lazaro Montes (No. 108) is tagged as most likely to reach the 2026 top 50 and as a peak home run leader candidate, while Detroit’s Max Anderson (No. 101) is flagged as a 2026 AL Rookie of the Year contender.
- Kansas City’s Kendry Chourio (No. 124) is singled out as most likely to become a front-line starter, the Dodgers’ Jackson Ferris (No. 128) fits a future 200-inning profile, and St. Louis lefty Brandon Clarke (No. 193) is profiled as an elite-closer candidate after a winter trade.
