Does anyone know if the untouchable status changes on players near the trade deadline?

It doesn’t. Pretty much every top 100 prospect is untouchable forever

That's unrealistic. Dansby Swanson was first overall draft pick and was traded before he ever played a MLB game. LaRussa always preferred veterans to prospects and didn't have the patience to wait for the prospect to develop. It was a poor trade but poor trades happen. Arizona also threw in Ender Inciarte who became Atlanta's leadoff man. Swanson and Inciarte for Shelby Miller.
