Dodgers trade outfielder Esteury Ruiz to Marlins

  • On Dec 29, 2025, the Los Angeles Dodgers traded outfielder Esteury Ruiz to the Miami Marlins for right-handed pitching prospect Adriano Marrero in a player-for-player swap.
  • Because Ruiz was primarily a defensive sub, the Dodgers traded him after he appeared in 19 games and opened a 40-man roster spot, as he wasn’t expected to factor into 2026 plans.
  • Ruiz led MLB in stolen bases in 2023 with 67 steals on 80 attempts, and he is a career.241 hitter with 77 stolen bases across four major-league seasons.
  • For Miami, the deal addresses center-field depth after the club moved Dane Myers two days earlier, with Ruiz stepping into that gap; the Marlins designated infielder Eric Wagaman for assignment to clear a 40-man roster spot.
  • The Dodgers received Adriano Marrero, a right-handed pitching prospect who struck out 35 batters in 33 innings with a 3.82 ERA and is viewed as developmental depth.
