Leodalis De Vries, Ethan Salas Invited To Spring Training
The San Diego Padres announced on Friday that infielder Leodalis De Vries and catcher Ethan Salas will be non-roster invites to major-league spring training this year. Per MLB Pipeline, De Vries is the No. 18 prospect in all of baseball in 2025, with Salas checking in at No. 33. Both prospects are only 18 years old, though, so nobody should be expecting them to win an Opening Day roster spot out of spring training. De Vries is a switch-hitting infielder that has a mature approach at the dish, but he needs more seasoning on the farm. He's a plus athlete and could stick at the 6 long term despite average arm strength. Salas's defensive skills are ahead of his bat heading into the 2025 season, but if he makes improvements offensively this year, he could rise quickly through San Diego's minor-league system. Both prospects are watch candidates in dynasty/keeper leagues for now.
