The Las Vegas Aristocrats continued to stockpile their Farm System, announcing the acquisition of University of North Carolina outfielder Vance Honeycutt (Minors) in exchange for a 2024 2nd Round Pick. Honeycutt is expected to be one of the top overall selections in the 2024 MLB Draft as RDBL Front Offices continue to dip into future Draft Classes to find top-tier talent.
From Prospect Live on the 2024 MLB Mock Draft: "Honeycutt is a superstar in every sense of the word. A 25-25 season in college baseball is unheard of. They only play ~60 games! That's precisely what Honeycutt achieved as a true freshman. He's the prototype power/speed centerfielder with plus tools in both areas and the body, trajectory and pedigree to suggest it'll only get better from here. If there's one quip on his profile at present, the swing-and-miss rates will need to come down if he's to project the all-star level contributor at the next level most see him being. In the field, he's an above average centerfielder flashing moments of even bigger promise. His route quality can waver from day-to-day, but there are nights where he looks like a surefire plus centerfielder with long strides and a gliding nature to his game, not to mention a keen awareness at the wall. He's got a solid average arm too. The potential here is big, a potential five-tool star."
As part of the move, the 'Crats will waive former top overall RDBL selection Austin Martin.
