The Los Angeles Dodgers have a knack for adding big-name players to their roster, and while an early-season trade with the Athletics may not have produced earth-shattering headlines, it still could prove to be a smaller move that pays big dividends for the Dodgers this season. Back on April 2, Los Angeles traded minor-league right-hander Carlos Duran to the A’s in exchange for outfielder Esteury Ruiz, who had been designated for assignment just days earlier. Ruiz was well-known among A’s fans, after he was deemed the centerpiece of the Sean Murphy trade with the Atlanta Braves just a couple of years back, and was worth looping in the Milwaukee Brewers to make it happen.
