The Los Angeles Dodgers traded pitching prospect Carlos Duran to the Athletics in exchange for Esteury Ruiz, who was recently designated for assignment. With uncertainties at second base and center field, the Dodgers look to bolster their roster. While Tommy Edman has primarily played second base, Andy Pages secured the center field starting role, pushing other options to Triple-A. Ruiz, though previously a primary center fielder for the A's, struggled offensively but led the AL in stolen bases with 67. He will further enhance the Dodgers' depth at center field post his transfer to Triple-A Oklahoma City.
