The batterymates are established regulars at age 24 one year after being traded by the Dodgers as part of the package that brought Max Scherzer and Trea Turner to L.A.
LOS ANGELES ― The highly anticipated trade for Juan Soto – wherever he goes, whenever he goes there – is expected to fetch the Washington Nationals a core of young players to build a franchise around.Pitcher Josiah Gray, 24, started Tuesday night’s game at Dodger Stadium. His catcher was 24-year-old Keibert Ruiz.
The Dodgers signed Ruiz as an amateur out of Venezuela in July 2014. He emerged as a top-100 prospect in 2018, played in that year’s Futures Game, and was an everyday major league catcher upon being traded.“Keibert’s going to be a really good player for quite some time,” Roberts said. “The main thing for him is to take down the catching duties and get familiarized with the pitcher. He has a lot of bat-to-ball . He’s aggressive in the box.
Gray and Ruiz, meanwhile, have time to mature. Neither can become a free agent until 2028. If trading Soto allows the Nationals’ front office to restock their farm system with Dodgers prospects again, they can’t be too disappointed with the first crop.The Dodgers optioned right-handed pitcher Reyes Moronta to Triple-A Oklahoma City and recalled left-hander Garrett Cleavinger.
