"BREAKING NEWS: MacKenzie Gore has been traded to the Washington Senators Texas Rangers in a return of five players featuring Gavin Fien who was the 12th overall draft pick last year plus Abimelec Ortiz, Devin Fitz-Gerald, Alejandro Rosario and Yeremy Cabrera. Ortiz is on the 40-man roster and would conceivably take Gore's spot. This was a 5-for-1 trade, but no current Top-100 prospects in this package."
"In high school, Fien was named the Most Valuable Player of the 2024 MLB High School All-Star Game in San Diego where he shared the field with new teammates Eli Willits, Landon Harmon and Miguel Sime Jr. While Fien was drafted as a shortstop, he has played some third base, and he was the starting first baseman on the 18u USA team that won it all in Panama."
MacKenzie Gore moved in a five-for-one deal that sent Gavin Fien, Abimelec Ortiz, Devin Fitz-Gerald, Alejandro Rosario, and Yeremy Cabrera in return. Abimelec Ortiz occupies a 40-man roster spot and could fill Gore's roster vacancy. The package contains no current Top-100 prospects and did not include Rangers top prospect Sebastian Walcott. Gavin Fien, 18 and a recent 12th overall pick, brings infield versatility and amateur accolades including MVP of the 2024 MLB High School All-Star Game. Baseball Trade Value labeled the deal a major underpay for Texas and a major overpay for Washington. Paul Toboni's performance will be judged by trades, drafts, signings, and hires.
