LOS ANGELES -- The Dodgers did make one trade before Monday's 9 p.m. PT deadline for players to be eligible for the postseason, acquiring outfielder Justin Ruggiano and cash from the Mariners for a player to be named later or cash considerations.
Ruggiano was originally drafted by the Dodgers in 2004, and was traded to the Rays in July 2006 along with Dioner Navarro and Jae Seo in exchange for Mark Hendrickson and Toby Hall. That was the first year as general manager in Tampa Bay for Andrew Friedman, now president of baseball operations in Los Angeles.
