The Blue Jays top prospects Ricky Tiedemann and Orelvis Martinez have had tough seasons to say the least.
First, Tiedemann's season ended due to an injury which required Tommy John surgery then Martinez received an 80 game suspension for PEDs.
It looks like the bad news have continued to pile on as both their rankings across all MLB prospects has dropped dramatically with Martinez going from #51 to #83 and Tiedemann going from #33 to # 85.
With Baseball America's Top 100 Prospect rankings (subscription required), Martinez began the year at No. 51, but had since fallen to No. 83. But with his return from his suspension on the horizon, he has risen slightly to No. 78 in their latest rankings. As for Tiedemann, his stock has plummeted the most, going from No. 33 early in year down to No. 85 midseason, and now being completely off the list. Even worse for MLB Pipeline, not a single Blue Jays prospect can be found on their current Top 100 Prospects list.
While these rankings do not mean everything, it is certainly not a good look for the Blue Jays as these are their two top prospects for right now.
