Leodalis De Vries

The Athletics acquired SS Leodalis De Vries, RHP Braden Nett, RHP Henry Báez, and RHP Eduarniel Nuñez from the Padres in exchange for RHP Mason Miller and LHP JP Sears.

Fantasy Impact

De Vries is the big get for the Athletics as the No. 3 ranked prospect in all of baseball. He is currently slashing .245/.3567/.410 in 82 games at High-A this season with eight home runs. He joins a young core that the Athletics already have up in the majors as a part of their long-term future.

The Padres sent Leodalis De Vries to minor league camp on Thursday as part of 11 roster cuts, per team reports.

Fantasy Impact

De Vries, 18, flashed an .803 OPS with 11 homers and 13 steals at Single-A Lake Elsinore in 2024—solid for a teen—and might climb to High-A Fort Wayne in 2025 alongside fellow prospect Ethan Salas in the cuts. Fantasy managers in dynasty leagues should stash him; his power-speed mix hints at big upside down the line.
