2021 Farm System Rankings
The Mariners’ much-improved farm system is receiving a lot of praise these days, and for good reason. No matter where you stand on Jerry Dipoto’s step-back/anti-rebuild/whatever it is, he should be credited for the work he’s done to improve the farm to this point.

In February of this year, we shared some extensive research which came to the conclusion that Evan White is already the 4th-best first baseman in team history, without ever having taken a Major League at bat.
