What happens when you combined a talented Major League roster with a top five farm system and more financial resources than any other team? You land in the top spot of FanGraphs’ organizational rankings, which the Yankees have now occupied for the second year in a row. The ranked first in big league talent and financial resources and third in baseball operations and farm system, which seem like reasonable rankings. “It’s a tough combination to beat, honestly,” said Dave Cameron, who wrote the article but didn’t rank the teams, that was a group effort. “A well run baseball operations staff backed by revenue streams larger than several other organizations put together, in the largest market in the country, with a brand that is synonymous with baseball itself – the Yankees aren’t going anywhere any time soon.”
The Red Sox, Phillies, Rays, and Braves round out the top five of the rankings, basically the five best teams in baseball.
