While there were many fans of the Dodgers who thought the team’s haul from the seven-player trade with the Reds would quickly be flipped for a high-impact player, both Jeter Downs and Josiah Gray are still preparing themselves for a season on the Los Angeles farm.
As it stands now, Downs is rated the seventh-best prospect in the entire system by MLB Pipeline, and at 21 years of age, Gray is ranked 16th on the list. When he was shipped out of Cincinnati, Gray was ranked as the Reds’ 12th-best prospect.
