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.
