The top dynasty prospect left in the entire minors with Konnor Griffin reaching the big leagues earlier this month, Made is hitting .333 (15-for-45) with five extra-base hits and six steals through 11 games as the youngest hitter in the entire Southern League by nearly two years. The 18-year-old prodigy also has more walks (10) than strikeouts (nine) this season. He possesses the complete five-category fantasy monster starter kit and doesn’t seem to have any weaknesses at this stage of his development. It sounds hyperbolic, but he simply continues to exceed even the most wildly optimistic expectations as he rockets towards Milwaukee.

At just 18 years old, Made is the youngest position player at the Double-A level by a country mile. He’s doing much more than just holding his own against older competition, batting .375 (12-for-32) with one homer and three steals in seven games. His all-around offensive ability and athleticism make it easy to forecast an elite power-speed combination fantasy contributor if he comes remotely close to reaching his ceiling. There simply aren’t any weaknesses in his profile, and he continues rocketing towards Milwaukee at a rapid pace.

Made is one of the most compelling prospects in the fantasy landscape after last year’s remarkable stateside debut where he batted .285/.379/.413 with six homers and 47 thefts in 115 games across three levels to finish the year as one of the youngest hitters in Double-A. The 18-year-old prodigy’s two hits carried exit velocities of 98 and 100.8 mph, respectively, showcasing his ability to generate consistent hard contact despite his 5-foot-8 frame. He has a chance to be a franchise-altering talent for Milwaukee and projects as an extremely impactful all-around fantasy contributor down the road.

If Garcia is the clear headliner in the five-player swap then Travieso is the metaphorical scratch lottery ticket in the deal. The 18-year-old hurler has yet to throw a pitch above Low-A and is several hyperspace jumps from the majors. His fastball/slider combination would make him a decent relief prospect if he fails to make it long-term as a traditional starter.

The Shuckers are going to the playoffs, so he’ll get to participate in those, too. The 18-year-old Made, considering one of the game’s very best prospects, hit .343/.415/.500 in 27 games with High-A Wisconsin after coming in at .267/.373/.388 in 82 games in Low-A.

Bastidas heads to Atlanta as emergency organizational depth at Triple-A Gwinnett. The 26-year-old infielder has yet to reach the majors and holds a .263/353/.460 triple-slash line with 12 homers and 10 steals this season at the Triple-A level.

Made is on track to finish the season alongside Pirates sensation Konnor Griffin as the top prospects in the dynasty landscape. The 18-year-old prodigy has somehow managed to outperform expectations this season in his stateside debut, slashing .267/.373/.388 with four homers and 40 steals in 83 games for Low-A Carolina. He’s flashed top-of-the-scale exit velocities relative to his age and level and should continue adding over-the-fence-pop as he matures. It’s easy to envision Made blossoming into a five-category impact fantasy contributor in a couple years, if not sooner.

The clear headliner in the deal for St. Louis, Baez is one of the better prospects in New York’s system. The 20-year-old infielder has hit .242/.332/.390 with 10 homers and seven steals in 75 games this season between High-A Brooklyn and Low-A St. Lucie. He’s a worthwhile gamble for the Cardinals since Helsley was set to reach free agency in two months.
