The same way Trea turner was part of a trade last season. I don't think he will be moved to his new organization until mid season. Unless they changed the rules.

They did change the rules. Basically draft picks can now be traded at the end of the season in which they were drafted, but they can't be made PTBNLs in trades completed before that point in order to get around that deadline.
