Jairo Iriarte News
The Chicago White Sox acquired right-handers Drew Thorpe and Jairo Iriarte from the San Diego Padres on Wednesday in exchange for right-hander Dylan Cease, according to a source. The White Sox finally trade Cease away in the midst of their rebuild and land two of San Diego's top-10 prospects in Thorpe (No. 5) and Iriarte (No. 8), per MLB Pipeline. Thorpe, 23, was acquired by the Friars in the blockbuster trade over the winter that sent Juan Soto to the Yankees. He excelled in the minors for the Yanks in 2023 while getting a lot of whiffs with his changeup and slider. Thorpe doesn't throw that hard, though, and lacks the upside of a high-end fantasy starter. Iriarte, 22, can touch triple digits with his heater but doesn't have the command that Thorpe does. He could be a high-leverage reliever in the long term. Both pitchers are merely dynasty stashed in fantasy in 2024.
The San Diego Padres assigned top prospects Ethan Salas, Jairo Iriarte and Robby Snelling to minor-league camp on Sunday. The most notable cut might have been Iriarte, who seemed to be in contention for a spot on the Opening Day pitching staff. Although Salas is considered one of the top catching prospects in the game already, he's only 17 years old, so it's no surprise that he won't break camp with the team. In his Cactus League action, he went 2-for-7. Salas will begin the 2024 season at Double-A San Antonio and probably won't be a realistic catching option for the Friars for another couple years. Iriarte, meanwhile, will begin at Triple-A El Paso despite giving up just one unearned run over three innings in big-league camp. Expect the 22-year-old to receive a promotion to the majors at some point this year.
