Seattle Mariners Top 10 Prospects For 2026 Fantasy Baseball

1. OF Lazaro Montes | 21 | AA | 2027

At 6’5” 215 pounds, Montes has slimmed down without sacrificing power as he’s climbed the organizational ladder. In 131 games split almost evenly between High-A and Double-A, the big lefty smashed 32 home runs, stole seven bases and slashed .241/.354/.504 with a 29 percent strikeout rate. The strikeouts have invited a fair share of doubters, but I think Montes will make enough impact on contact to become a mainstay in fantasy lineups.

Sacramento Athletics Top 10 Prospects For 2026 Fantasy Baseball

1. SS Leo De Vries | 19 | AA | 2027

We don’t often see a prospect like De Vries get traded before his 20th birthday, if at all, so it was kind of shocking to see him moved for a reliever, even one as dominant as Mason Miller. Sacramento pushed the switch hitter to Double-A at age 18, where he slashed .281/.359/.551 with five home runs and two stolen bases in 21 games. He even showed plus plate skills: 9.7% walks against 19.4% strikeouts. It’ll be interesting to see how they time this out because he’s got a legitimate case to open the season in Triple-A at 19, an age he’ll stay until October 11th this year. Seems probably we’ll see him in the majors before he turns 20, and that’s a pretty consistent predictor of sustained stardom. Incredible work on the trade market by Sacramento in my opinion.

Los Angeles Angels Top 10 Prospects For 2026 Fantasy Baseball

Format = Position Player | Age on 4/1/2026 | Highest Level Played | Estimated Time of Arrival

1. OF Nelson Rada | 20 | AAA | 2026

The plusses here are obvious: a legitimate center fielder with solid plate skills from the left side, Rada swiped 54 bases in 135 games across Double-A and Triple-A in 2025, slashing .292/.398/.360 and making huge plate-skills gains when he reached Triple-A. He walked 30 times against 35 strikeouts in his 42 games with Salt Lake, slashing .323/.433/.416 in the cozy hitting environment. He’s always been extremely young for the level – 7.8 years younger than average in Triple-A – and that tends to work out in the aggregate, especially if a teenager like Rada arrives to camp some spring wearing new muscle after a Rocky IV type winter. Rada actually filled out a little bit last offseason and could be quite the fantasy sleeper this year with just a touch more man-strength.

Prospect News: Red Sox Are In The Cards For St. Louis

The front offices of Boston and St. Louis have been on the phone with each other (or texting back and forth) all offseason, culminating in two big trades so far. 

Around Thanksgiving, the teams agreed to swap RHP Sonny Gray (36) along with $20 million for RHP Richard Fitts (26) and LHP Brandon Clarke (22, A+). 

Gray should play as a known quantity, and it sounds like he’s eager to pitch in the AL East again. “It’s easy to go to a place where it’s easy to hate the Yankees,” he said at this introductory press conference, instantly endearing himself to a new fanbase. He also restructured his contract to turn a guaranteed year into a mutual option that Boston can refuse for a $10 million payout. With the Cardinals covering $20 million, Gray will cost $11 million for the Red Sox in 2026. If he’s good for them, Boston can bring him back next year for $30 million at a $25 million luxury tax hit.
