Miami Marlins Claim Jesús Aguilar off Waivers From Rays

Newest Marlins player Jesús Aguilar is a six-foot-three, 250 lb. first baseman from Maracay, Venezuela. Born on June 30th, 1990, the right-handed hitter is a six-year major league veteran.

The Rays got Aguilar in a deadline-day trade four months ago with the Milwaukee Brewers, for RHP Jake Faria. In 37 games to close out the season, Aguilar slashed .261/.336/.424 with four homers and 16 RBI.

With the Brewers, Aguilar spent the majority of his first three full major league seasons, making the National League All Star team for the first time in 2018.
