Blue Jays promote top prospect as Red Sox farm system dips after Rutschman trade
The Toronto Blue Jays are promoting their organization's No. 1 prospect during a series against the Phillies. In Boston, the Red Sox farm system rankings have declined following a blockbuster trade for Adley Rutschman.
