The Rangersโ€™ minor league system is not a strength right now, but the folks at Fangraphs do see some things to feel good about.

In particular, they are more bullish than most, I think, on Yolfran Castillo, who they have second in the system currently, and Paxton Kling, who they identify as a dark horse top 100 candidate for next year. Overall, the system is heavy on arms and light on impact position players (outside of Sebastian Walcott, of course). And speaking of prospects, Thomas Nestico has his updated top 100 prospect list out.

Both Walcott and Caden Scarborough make the cut, although Walcott drops in this update due to the elbow injury that is costing him most of the 2026 season.
