"The Dodgers acquired prospect Adriano Marrero from the Marlins in exchange for Ruiz, according to Francys Romero: Cuban right-hander pitcher Adriano Marrero, 18, who was signed by the Marlins on January 15 for a $350,000 bonus and who threw 33 innings in the Dominican Summer League with 35 strikeouts, is the player being traded for Ruiz to the Dodgers, per sources."
"According to Fangrapphs prospect expert Eric Longenhagen, Marrero has a 3,000 RPM slider and an average changeup, along with a fastball that sits in the upper 80s with the potential to increase as he matures. If the velocity and control trend up, he has the potential to develop into an exciting prospect, but at such a young age, there's still a lot of projection and risk in his profile."
The Los Angeles Dodgers traded outfielder Esteury Ruiz to the Miami Marlins and received 18-year-old Cuban right-hander Adriano Marrero in return. Marrero signed with the Marlins on January 15 for a $350,000 bonus and threw 33 innings with 35 strikeouts in the Dominican Summer League. Marrero features a 3,000 RPM slider, an average changeup and a fastball that sits in the upper 80s with potential to increase. The profile is high-upside but risky given his age and projection. The Dodgers had earlier re-signed Miguel Rojas, signed Edwin Díaz, and continued exploring outfield options.
