Carlos Ruiz Has Been Traded to the Dodgers
After clearing waivers, Carlos Ruiz (like Jimmy Rollins and Chase Utley before him) has been traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers. In return for one of the greatest and most lovable Phillies of all time, the Phillies will get catcher A.J. Ellis and a prospect. Ellis is hitting .194 in 53 games this season.
With Utley and Chooch now reunited in LA (with Joe Blanton too), we can all officially be full-on Dodgers bandwagoners once the playoffs start.
