Athletics' Leo De Vries: Shipped to A's in blockbuster
Leo De Vries was traded from the Padres to the Athletics on Thursday along with three pitchers from San Diego in exchange for Mason Miller and JP Sears, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.De Vries is one of baseball's top prospects, but he is over a year away from the major leagues. He isn't a lock to stick at shortstop, and now that he is in the same organization as Jacob Wilson (forearm), it's safe to assume De Vries will end up at second base long term. De Vries has slashed .245/.357/.410 with eight home runs, eight steals, a 14.1 percent walk rate and a 19.6 percent strikeout in 82 games as the youngest player at High-A.

Padres' Leo De Vries: In control at High-A
Leo De Vries is hitting .447 with three home runs, two steals, nine walks and three strikeouts over his last 11 games at High-A Fort Wayne.The youngest player at High-A, De Vries is slashing .309/.400/.593 with four home runs, three steals and a 15.6 percent strikeout rate in 22 games this season. It's wild to say about a player who doesn't turn 19 until the fall, but the switch-hitting De Vries will probably force a promotion to Double-A in the coming weeks. The only knock so far from a real-life standpoint is that his defense at shortstop needs some work, but he's looking like a flawless dynasty prospect.
