Phillies Acquire Final Prospect to Complete Carlos Ruiz Trade

It has been a couple of weeks since Chooch was traded from the Phillies to the Dodgers, although it’s felt like an eternity.

The trade sent Ruiz to Los Angeles to provide post-season experience behind the plate in exchange for catcher A.J. Ellis, right-hander Tommy Bergjans, and a player to be named later.

Thursday afternoon, the Phillies announced they selected outfielder Joey Curletta from the Dodgers organization to be the final piece in the Ruiz deal.

Joey Curletta is the PTBNL going to the Phillies in the Carlos Ruiz/A.
