A series of unfortunate circumstances have dampened the shine on a Blue Jays system that has often elected to Draft for upside in recent years. But 2025 could see the farm system start anew.
Left-handed pitching prospects Ricky Tiedemann and Brandon Barriera will likely take the mound once again toward the end of the 2025 season after both succumbing to elbow injuries in 2024.

It's now or never for a front office that has struggled to consistently put a winner on the field despite significant financial support.
