As spring training approaches, teams are finalizing their rosters, leading to player trades like the Los Angeles Dodgers’ recent deal involving Diego Cartaya. The young catcher was traded to the Minnesota Twins after struggling to break into the Dodgers' strong catching lineup, which includes Will Smith and Austin Barnes. The Twins, looking to enhance their roster, hope to revitalize Cartaya's potential as he remains a promising left-handed hitter at just 23 years old.

This pattern of trading young players who face obstacles in their current teams is common. Marco Luciano of the San Francisco Giants, Owen Caissie from the Chicago Cubs, and Jud Fabian of the Baltimore Orioles could also be on the trading block as they navigate complex team depth charts. The Giants have several established infielders, while the Cubs and Orioles have an abundance of outfield talent, making it difficult for these young prospects to secure a permanent spot.
