6 years agoLos Angeles Dodgers outfielder Yusniel Diaz has been traded to the Baltimore Orioles as part of a deal for shortstop Manny Machado. Diaz is ranked as the Dodgers' fourth best prospect and the 84th best prospect in baseball according to MLB Pipeline. Diaz has hit .288 with 26 home runs 139 RBI and 24 stolen bases over 258 minor league games. Recently he caught the eye of the baseball world by hitting two home runs in the MLB Futures Game. Diaz seems like an amazing haul to receive for a rental player and while he has yet to play beyond AA, he is now a major part of the Orioles' future. He should be picked up in dynasty leagues and will be a player to watch in standard leagues whenever he gets recalled.--Dan Fappiano
