Overview

  • Multiple outlets report the swap, though MLB.com notes the teams had not announced it at the time of reporting.
  • Miami cleared a 40-man spot by designating infielder Eric Wagaman for assignment as part of the move to add Ruiz.
  • Ruiz brings elite speed after leading the AL with 67 steals in 2023 and has one option year remaining before arbitration eligibility after 2026.
  • The addition aligns with Miami’s search for a right-handed outfield and backup center-field option following the trade of Dane Myers.
  • Los Angeles drops to 39 on its 40-man roster and acquires 18-year-old Cuban righty Adriano Marrero, who logged a 3.82 ERA with 35 strikeouts in 33 Dominican Summer League innings after a reported $350,000 signing.
