Summary
Baltimore made the biggest post-deadline leap, climbing 14 spots from No. 20 to No. 6 after landing Anthony Eyanson, Kyson Witherspoon and Enddy Azocar in the Adley Rutschman deal.
That haul reshaped the Orioles' top 10 immediately: Eyanson became the system's new No. 1 prospect, while Witherspoon ranked fifth and Azocar seventh.
Boston took the steepest fall, sliding from No. 12 to No. 28 after surrendering two Top 100 prospects—Eyanson and Witherspoon—to acquire injured catcher Rutschman.
Detroit also surged, rising from No. 18 to No. 8 on returns for Tarik Skubal and Casey Mize, while the Angels climbed from No. 29 to No. 18 after adding Arjun Nimmala from Toronto.
Toronto dropped to No. 24 after paying for José Soriano, and San Diego stayed last at No. 30 despite moving up three spots because more deadline trades thinned its prospect base again.
