The 2025 MLB trade deadline is fast approaching. By 6 p.m. ET (or a little after), we\u2019ll know which prospects have been packaged in deals and shipped out to new organizations.<\/p>\n

Below, you can find our ranked list of every prospect involved in trades leading up to the deadline. We will be continually reporting on these prospect trades and adding to the list, making this is a \u201clive board.\u201d Be sure to check back throughout the day, as players may be adjusted up or down the rankings as we get more information.<\/p>\n

Even with hours until the deadline, this has already been one of the most significant trade deadlines in years. Leo De Vries is easily the highest-ranked prospect traded at the deadline since 2017.<\/p>\n

Top 25 Prospects<\/p>\n

1. Leo De Vries<\/a>, SS, Athletics (from Padres) | BA Grade: 65\/High<\/p>\n

Analysis: De Vries ranks fifth on the Baseball America Top 100<\/a>. That makes him the highest-rated prospect to be traded at the deadline since Eloy Jimenez (2017) and Addison Russell (2014), both of whom also ranked fifth. He\u2019s a sure-fire shortstop who has the offensive potential to blossom into an all-star, but he is also an 18-year-old with much work left to do.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Top 50 Prospects<\/p>\n

2. Eduardo Tait<\/a>, C, Twins (from Phillies) | BA Grade: 55\/High<\/p>\n

Analysis:Tait is one of the highest-profile prospects to be traded at the deadline in several years. He has massive power potential and a big arm, but he will need to stay on top of his conditioning if he\u2019s going to remain a catcher. He\u2019s already a big-bodied backstop as an 18-year-old.<\/p>\n

Top 100 Prospects<\/p>\n

None<\/p>\n

Just Outside The Top 100<\/p>\n

The margin between players who do and don\u2019t make the back end of the Top 100 is pretty slim. The following prospects are those for whom a real Top 100 case could be made.<\/p>\n

Top 150-500 Prospects<\/p>\n

These are players who rank among the better prospects in baseball. Were we to extend the Top 100 out to a Top 1000, the difference between someone who ranks 250th and 400th would be less than the difference between No. 1 and No. 75. As such, these are players who have a solid chance to be regulars, but come with more risk or concerns about their ultimate role than the prospects in the tier above.<\/p>\n

Top 500-1000 Prospects<\/p>\n

We\u2019re dropping down another tier here, but these are still prospects with plenty of intrigue. They are often players whose skills don\u2019t match their tools yet or skilled players with modest tools. Most of these prospects would get an entry in the Prospect Handbook.<\/p>\n

Worth A Flier<\/p>\n

Players ranked in this section have a chance to make these rankings look pretty stupid in a few years. While most of these prospects will not make the majors, there\u2019s always a chance that a far-away player in one the complex leagues blossoms into a star. Think of Yordan Alvarez or Junior Caminero as examples of players acquired very early in their pro careers before developing into big-time prospects. Teams love to acquire these types of high-risk, high-reward players when they can even if they know that, more often than not, they won\u2019t reap a reward.<\/p>\n

Role Players<\/p>\n

If the previous category is the equivalent of putting all your money on one roulette number, this is the equivalent of betting on a color at the roulette wheel. You\u2019re way more likely to win something, but you\u2019re not going to break the bank with the return. In other words, these are prospects who project as role players and may well make it to the majors but are unlikely to be big league regulars.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The 2025 MLB trade deadline is fast approaching.
