Ranking the Prospects Traded at the 2024 Deadline

August 2, 2024

Ranked and briefly analyzed below are the prospects who have been traded during the loosely defined “2024 deadline season,” which for simplicity’s sake I consider all of July. Most of the deals these prospects were a part of have been analyzed at length on this site. An index of those pieces can be found here; you can also click the hyperlink in the “Trade” column below, which will take you to the relevant article. I’ve moved all of the 35+ FV and above players listed here to their new orgs over on The Board, so you can click through to see where they rank among their new teammates and read their full scouting reports. Our Farm System Rankings, which update live, also reflect these changes, so you can see where teams’ systems stack up following the draft and the deadline.

2024 Traded Prospects and Minor Leaguers

FV	Rank	Player	Pos	Age	To	From	Trade
50	1	Agustin Ramirez	C	22.9	MIA	NYY	Chisholm
Offense-first catcher with huge rotational explosion and bat speed. Probably plays C/1B/DH mix.
50	2	Thayron Liranzo	C	21.1	DET	LAD	Flaherty
Switch-hitter with rare power regardless of position, but especially at catcher. Hit tool improvement becomes imperative if he can’t stick back there.
50	3	Dylan Lesko	SP	20.9	TBR	SDP	J. Adam
Has been super wild coming off TJ. Riding mid-90s heat and an elite changeup give him impact reliever floor even if things stay that way.
50	4	Jake Bloss	SP	23.1	TOR	HOU	Kikuchi
High-floored fourth starter on a competitive club. Plus slider and command, other stuff is average.
45+	5	George Klassen	SP	22.5	LAA	PHI	Estévez
Once a hard-throwing sideshow with no control, Klassen has somewhat improved this while also adding a cutter to his upper-90s fastball and plus curve.
45+	6	Brody Hopkins	SP	22.5	TBR	SEA	Arozarena
Hard-throwing low-slot converted outfielder who has gotten better very quickly in first year of pro ball.
45+	7	Jared Serna	2B	22.2	MIA	NYY	Chisholm
Super athletic little second baseman with surprising power for his size. Makes contact despite high-effort swing. Shot to be everyday second baseman; if not, he has an impact utility profile.
45	8	Trey Sweeney	SS	24.3	DET	LAD	Flaherty
Big-framed shortstop with starter-quality contact/power combo that plays down due to his downward swing path.
45	9	Samuel Aldegheri	SP	22.9	LAA	PHI	Estévez
Sneaky low-90s fastball with ride, plus slider, plus command. No. 4/5 starter look.
45	10	Nick Yorke	2B	22.3	PIT	BOS	Priester
Below-average 2B/LF defender with strong hitting track record. Bizarre reverse splits, hits righties much better. Not quite a regular because of his defense.
45	11	Yujanyer Herrera	SP	21.0	COL	MIL	Mears
Big-framed almost-21-year-old righty with smooth delivery, plus command, plus slider and low-to-mid-90s fastball. No. 4/5 starter look.
40+	12	José Tena	2B	23.4	WSN	CLE	L. Thomas
Free-swinging infielder with power. Flashy but flawed defender. Probably gets 2B/3B reps soon.
40+	13	Deyvison De Los Santos	DH	21.1	MIA	ARI	Puk
Stout slugger with plus-plus power, zero approach, and shaky defense. Volatile low-OBP type in the Maikel Franco mold.
40+	14	Robby Snelling	SP	20.6	MIA	SDP	T. Scott
Ultra-competitive lefty who goes right at hitters with relatively vanilla stuff.
40+	15	Jackson Baumeister	SP	22.1	TBR	BAL	Eflin
Amateur two-way prospect (catcher) who is still learning to pitch. Works in the low-to-mid-90s with life, has two good breaking balls. Sketchy delivery creates relief risk.
40+	16	Mason Barnett	SP	23.7	OAK	KCR	Erceg
Burly mid-90s righty with above-average slider and curveball. Throws strikes despite long arm action, in the backend starter/swingman area but should thrive in one of those roles.
40+	17	Ty Johnson	SP	22.9	TBR	CHC	Paredes
6-foot-6 small school starter with burgeoning velocity and plus breaking ball. Has improved a lot during lone pro season. Rotation upside w/changeup growth.
40+	18	Alex Clemmey	SP	19.0	WSN	CLE	L. Thomas
Lanky teenage lefty with mid-90s fastball and rapidly improving slider. Far from bigs but has realistic late-inning reliever outcome with time to develop into more.
40+	19	Will Klein	SIRP	24.7	OAK	KCR	Erceg
Upper-90s reliever with a good curveball. Ready for big league innings right now.
40+	20	Seth Johnson	SP	25.9	PHI	BAL	G. Soto
Mid-90s starter still building back from TJ. Pitch mix and command are more typical of a good reliever than a starter. He’s on the 40-man right now.
40+	21	Adam Mazur	SP	23.3	MIA	SDP	T. Scott
Lanky rookie big league righty with mid-90s fastball that plays way down, especially in the zone. Best fit might be to pitch backwards in a long relief role.
40+	22	Mac Horvath	CF	23.0	TBR	BAL	Eflin
Tried center field just before he was traded and looked pretty good. Valuable righty utility type with above-average power.
40+	23	Cayden Wallace	3B	23.0	WSN	KCR	H. Harvey
Multi-positional corner utilityman with roughly average contact and power.
40+	24	Jeral Perez	2B	19.7	CHW	LAD	Edman/Fedde/Pham
Young, power-hitting 2B/3B who has gotten stronger very quickly. Stiff defender, versatility unlikely, needs to mash so he can be an everyday second baseman.
40	25	Jonatan Clase	CF	22.2	TOR	SEA	Y. García
Speedy outfielder fairly new to switch-hitting. Raw defensive feel. Real tools and late breakout possibility. Don’t get fatigued here.
40	26	Gregory Barrios	SS	20.3	TBR	MIL	Civale
Slick-fielding shortstop with plus feel for contact. Very slight of build, utility type unless he gets stronger.
40	27	Graham Pauley	3B	23.9	MIA	SDP	T. Scott
2023 breakout guy who regressed in 2024. Lacks a position. Sweet lefty swing should enable him to be a part-time contributor anyway.
40	28	Connor Norby	LF	24.1	MIA	BAL	T. Rogers
Relatively bearish here. Below-average second base defender whose strikeouts have exploded. More a 1 WAR LF/DH type than a potential regular.
40	29	Eddinson Paulino	3B	22.1	TOR	BOS	Jansen
Shot to be low-end third base regular with plus glove there. More likely part-time lefty infielder.
40	30	Sabin Ceballos	3B	22.0	SFG	ATL	Soler
Contact and defense-oriented third baseman who lacks the power typical of third.
40	31	Cutter Coffey	SS	20.2	TOR	BOS	Jansen
Flashy but inconsistent defense. Low-end regular shortstop potential if he can stay there, Daniel Robertson comp if he can’t.
40	32	Aidan Smith	CF	20.0	TBR	SEA	Arozarena
Projectable center fielder with suspect hit tool.
40	33	Joseph Montalvo	SP	22.2	DET	TEX	Chafin
Small-ish low-90s righty starter with a good breaking ball. No. 5 starter look with upside if you’re keen to project based on his gorgeous delivery.
40	34	Kade Morris	SP	22.1	OAK	NYM	Blackburn
Breaking ball-centric backend starter type.
40	35	Jun-Seok Shim	SP	20.2	MIA	PIT	B. De La Cruz
Bigger-bodied guy injured for all of 2024 so far (shoulder). Sits 95 with carry and has a promising curveball.
40	36	Alexander Albertus	3B	19.8	CHW	LAD	Edman/Fedde/Pham
Athletic infielder with contact and plate skills but not much power. Put on IL with tibia fracture shortly before the trade.
40	37	William Bergolla	SS	19.8	CHW	PHI	T. Banks
Has a Luis Guillorme look. Super skilled barrel control and defensive hands, below-average athlete.
40	38	Andrew Pintar	CF	23.4	MIA	ARI	Puk
Power/speed center fielder who is still learning the position. Has missed lots of time with injury.
40	39	Rafael Ramirez Jr.	SS	19.0	WSN	CLE	L. Thomas
Viable shortstop with average power and below-average hit tool.
40	40	International Pool Space	$750k	2024	NYY	HOU	C. Ferguson
This helps the Yankees get a little closer to front of the pack in terms of remaining 2024 bonus pool space, which means a better late-2024 shot at Rōki Sasaki depending on the timing of his posting.
40	41	Jack Neely	SIRP	24.2	CHC	NYY	Leiter
Neely is a pretty typical mid-90s fastball/plus slider middle reliever.
40	42	Hunter Bigge	SIRP	26.1	TBR	CHC	Paredes
Has dealt with injuries, wildness, and fluctuating velocity. Currently healthy and peaking, sitting in the upper-90s with a nasty low-90s cutter/slider.
40	43	Moisés Chace	SP	21.1	PHI	BAL	G. Soto
Stuff-over-control starter prospect with good secondaries and an uphill fastball.
40	44	Bradley Blalock	MIRP	23.6	COL	MIL	Mears
Vertical fastball reliever look, splitter and breaking ball pepper the top of the zone.
40	45	Patrick Reilly	SP	22.8	BAL	PIT	B. Cook
Fastball-heavy righty with a good cutter/slider. Probably a reliever, masquerading as a starter right now.
40	46	Eric Silva	MIRP	21.8	DET	SFG	Canha
Slider-heavy relief prospect, advanced command for his age.
40	47	Luis Peralta	SIRP	23.6	COL	PIT	Beeks
Standard middle inning lefty prospect with upshot fastball and plus slider.
40	48	Tyler Stuart	SP	24.8	WSN	NYM	Winker
Sixth starter type. Has backend elements but fastball traits cause it to play down.
35+	49	Ovis Portes	SIRP	19.7	CIN	BOS	L. Sims
Very hard throwing young starter prospect with relief risk due to a lack of command.
35+	50	Oliver Gonzalez	SP	17.8	LAD	STL	Edman/Fedde/Pham
Super projectable DSL pitcher with present below-average stuff.
35+	51	Benjamin Cowles	SS	24.5	CHC	NYY	Leiter
Well built, versatile infielder with below-average hit and power tools.
35+	52	Walter Pennington	SIRP	26.3	TEX	KCR	Lorenzen
Up/down reliever with an above-average slider.
35+	53	Jarold Rosado	SIRP	22.1	CHW	KCR	DeJong
A hard-throwing young relief prospect with two future plus pitches. Rosado is sitting 94-97 and has a great two-planed curveball.
35+	54	Thomas Balboni Jr.	SIRP	24.1	NYY	SDP	Lockridge
Balboni is a low-slot reliever with a good slider who has had a two-tick velo spike this season.
35+	55	Liam Hicks	C	25.2	DET	TEX	C. Kelly
Hicks has great plate discipline and feel for airborne contact, but he lacks power and isn’t a good catcher.
35+	56	Will Wagner	3B	26.0	TOR	HOU	Kikuchi
Wagner can hit but lacks a position.
35+	57	Josh Rivera	SS	21.8	TOR	CHC	Pearson
Rivera is a viable shortstop with a big time arm and a hit tool that’s lacking.
35+	58	Homer Bush Jr.	CF	22.8	TBR	SDP	J. Adam
Bush is an elite runner with a big long-term defensive ceiling in center. His bat is light.
35+	59	Yohendrick Pinango	LF	22.2	TOR	CHC	Pearson
Pinango is a spreadsheet darling with a more middling visual report. The stocky lefty-hitting left fielder has good power for his size, but his swing’s length is a concern.
35+	60	Matthew Lugo	LF	23.2	LAA	BOS	L. García
Lugo has moved from shortstop to left field and improved his approach. He’s now a pull-power left fielder who fits toward the bottom of a 40-man.
35+	61	Trey McGough	SIRP	26.3	CHW	BAL	E. Jiménez
McGough is a soft-tossing lefty reliever with a good slider.
35+	62	Paul Gervase	SIRP	24.2	TBR	NYM	T. Zuber
A 6-foot-10 righty with a low slot. 91-94 mph fastball is a nightmare in on the hands of righties.
35+	63	Wilfredo Lara	3B	20.3	MIA	NYM	Brazoban
Versatile defender with power-over-hit offensive profile. Shot to be a utility guy.
35+	64	Yeferson Vargas	SIRP	20.0	LAA	BOS	L. García
Undersized righty up to 98 with a promising breaking ball. Probable reliever.
35+	65	J.D. Gonzalez	C	18.8	TBR	SDP	J. Adam
Sweet-swinging developmental catcher with raw all-around game.
35+	66	Tyler Owens	SIRP	23.6	DET	TEX	C. Kelly
Fastball-heavy up/down reliever likely to debut within a year.
35+	67	Ricky Vanasco	SIRP	25.8	DET	LAD	Cash
Oft-injured reliever with three plus pitches at peak.
35	68	Niko Kavadas	1B	25.8	LAA	BOS	L. García
Husky 1B/DH with plus-plus power but 30-grade contact.
35	69	Andrés Chaparro	1B	25.8	WSN	ARI	Floro
First baseman with fair contact/power blend, nice upper-level corner infield depth option.
35	70	Charles McAdoo	3B/OF	22.4	TOR	PIT	Kiner-Falefa
Small-school power breakout guy with looming strikeout issues due to his bat path.
35	71	Garret Forrester	C/3B	22.7	MIA	PIT	B. De La Cruz
Oregon State stalwart who attempted catcher conversion during 2024 first half. Has played more third base lately. Well-rounded hitter, old for his level.
35	72	Jacob Bresnahan	SP	19.1	SFG	CLE	Cobb
Teenage lefty without huge projection. Great looking arm action, low-90s fastball but it rides, average slider.
35	73	Ronaldys Jimenez	SP	18.7	PIT	SDP	M. Pérez
DSL lefty up to 95, has a projectable frame and slider.
35	74	Nicolas Carreno	SP	18.1	NYM	PIT	J. Walker
Carreno is a walk-prone, lightning-armed little DSL lefty who is sitting 95 and has a potentially good slider.
35	75	Michael Flynn	SIRP	28.0	TBR	LAD	Rosario
Lower-slot sinker/slider/cutter reliever with low-leverage upside.
35	76	Brandon Lockridge	CF	27.4	SDP	NYY	Enyel/Balboni
A 27-year-old depth center fielder with a plus glove and speed.
35	77	Billy Cook	2B/OF	25.6	PIT	BAL	P. Reilly
Older 2B/OF with above-average power and 2024 K% improvement.
35	78	Kelly Austin	SIRP	23.6	NYY	HOU	C. Ferguson
Low-90s fastball with natural cut and carry. Good breaking stuff. Like a softer-tossing Bryan Shaw.
35	79	Chase Lee	SIRP	26.0	DET	TEX	Chafin
Low-slot righty with a good slider. Righty specialist look.
35	80	Will Schomberg	SP	23.5	MIA	SEA	Chargois
An undrafted free agent out of Davidson with elite breaking ball spin. Sits 91-93, throws a lot of cutters and curveballs.
35	81	Matthew Etzel	OF	22.3	TBR	BAL	Eflin
Upper-level performer with smaller frame and modest tools. Good upper-level depth type.
35	82	Rhylan Thomas	OF	24.3	SEA	NYM	Stanek
Contact-only corner outfielder. Upper-level depth.
35	83	Jacob Sharp	C	22.9	TOR	SEA	Y. García
Athletic little catcher with plus contact rates.
35	84	Jared Dickey	OF	22.4	OAK	KCR	Erceg
Corner outfielder with solid bat-to-ball skills, less power than a typical LF/RF.
35	85	Ryan Zeferjahn	SIRP	26.4	LAA	BOS	L. García
Up/down reliever with upper-90s fastball that lacks movement.
35	86	RJ Schreck	OF	24.1	TOR	SEA	J. Turner
Old-for-level A-ball performer. Contact-driven corner outfielder without power.
35	87	Jay Harry	UTIL	22.0	TOR	MIN	T. Richards
Lefty-hitting multi-positional player with pull-oriented approach. Physical tools are pretty light.
35	88	Jay Beshears	MIF	22.2	MIA	SDP	T. Scott
Lacks arm for shortstop. Swings hard and is making above-average contact this year but, to the eye, it isn’t sustainable.
35	89	Gilberto Batista	SP	19.6	TOR	BOS	Jansen
Sinker/slider teenager who sits 91-93; his breaking ball ranges from 82-90 mph.
35	90	Abrahan Ramirez	2B/3B	19.8	MIA	NYY	Chisholm
Compact contact-oriented 2B/3B currently on the complex.
35	91	Moises Bolivar	3B	17.1	LAD	BOS	Paxton
A power-hitting flier from the DSL who needs to work on his throwing accuracy and plate discipline.
35	92	Andruw Salcedo	C	21.8	SEA	CIN	France
Husky switch-hitting catcher who hasn’t played very much across four pro seasons.
