Baseball America on Wednesday released its farm-system rankings for 2025, slotting the Tigers in at No. 2, behind the Boston Red Sox. That's a bump up from No. 5 in 2024, a spot the publication said at the time the Tigers had only seen once before in Baseball America's 40-plus years of talent rankings. That was until Wednesday.

For the first time since rankings began in 1984, the Red Sox will go into the season with the No. 1 ranked farm system according to Baseball America.
