Marlins acquired OF Ricardo Cespedes and RHP Merandy Gonzalez from the Marlins for RHP A.J. Ramos.
No, not that Cespedes. The 19-year-old outfielder has advanced above rookie ball for the first time this season, slashing .255/.283/.294 with one homer, 15 RBI and a 22/4 K/BB ratio across Rookie League, Low-A Brooklyn and Class-A Columbia. Like Gonzalez, Cespedes will have to be added to the 40-man roster this winter if the Marlins intend to protect him from the Rule 5 Draft.
