De Vries Injury Update and Trade Impact | Oakland Athletics News

Leo De Vries, the electric 19-year-old shortstop from the Dominican Republic, is baseball’s next big thing—ranked 2 in MLB Pipeline’s prospect rankings and already showing elite power, speed, and bat control. Signed by the Padres as a teenager, he rocketed through the minors before a blockbuster trade at the 2025 deadline sent him to the A’s for closer Mason Miller. Since then, he’s been crushing it—hitting .286 with 20 homers and stealing bases—with his 2026 season cut short by a torn labrum. Now projected to shift to second base upon recovery, De Vries could fill a key role for the A’s as they look ahead to a full comeback in 2027.
