"The Miami Marlins acquired outfielder Esteury Ruiz from the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday night in a trade for minor league right-hander Adriano Marrero. The speedy Ruiz led the American League with 67 stolen bases for the Athletics in 2023. He is a career .241 hitter during four major league seasons with four teams, but excels as a baserunner and a defender."
"The Dodgers acquired Ruiz from the A's last April, and he was a little-used reserve when he was in the majors for the back-to-back World Series champions. Ruiz batted .190 in 19 games for Los Angeles, largely playing as a defensive replacement or a pinch runner. The Marlins designated infielder Eric Wagaman for assignment to make room on their 40-man roster for Ruiz."

Ruiz led the American League with 67 stolen bases for the Athletics in 2023 and is a career .241 hitter over four major league seasons with four teams. He is known for baserunning and defense. Los Angeles obtained Ruiz from Oakland last April, and he served as a little-used reserve for the World Series champions, batting .190 in 19 games while primarily appearing as a defensive replacement or pinch runner. Miami designated infielder Eric Wagaman for assignment to clear a 40-man roster spot. Ruiz can serve as a backup outfielder and a possible replacement for Dane Myers.
