Wander Franco

Wander Franco is listed on the Rays' 60-man roster for the 2020 season.

Fantasy Impact

Franco is the consensus top prospect in all of baseball. While it's exciting to hear he made the cut, it by no means hints that we will see him in the majors this summer. Instead, it is likely that Tampa Bay thinks this is the best way to keep developing their prized shortstop. It's a route that most MLB teams are expected to follow. Franco is one of the most desirable assets in dynasty leagues right now.

Jesse Sanchez of MLB.com reports shortstop Wander Franco will be a part of the Rays' taxi squad this season.

Fantasy Impact

Franco is considered the consensus top prospect in all of baseball. However, he is still just 19 years old and has never played above Single-A, so it's still unlikely he makes an impact fantasy wise this season. Tampa Bay appears to think having him around will be best for his development. This is likely something we will see other teams do with their top prospects.
