PROSPECT: Masyn Winn, SS, St. Louis Cardinals
ANALYSIS: While the Paul DeJong trade didn't exactly send ripples throughout the baseball world, it does create a path to playing time for Masyn Winn this season. The unfortunate news of Brendan Donovan being out for the remainder of the season helps as well.
Still, St. Louis might wait a few weeks to keep Winn rookie-eligible heading into 2024, so his promotion isn't necessarily going to be in the next few days. But when he does get the call, Winn would bring plenty of intrigue as a prospect that can hit for a solid average while providing some power and speed as well.
VERDICT: Since the beginning of May, Winn has slashed .304/.378/.519 and he's coming off his best month of the season in July where he posted a .359/.427/.750 slash line with eight home runs. We're definitely going to see Winn this season, it's just a matter of when and at which middle infield position.
Masyn Winn crushes his SEVENTH homer of July!
