AGUSTÍN RAMÍREZ
Marlins' Agustin Ramirez Prepares For 2025 Audition The Marlins targeted hard-hitting, 23-year-old Dominican catcher Agustin Ramirez when they traded Jazz Chisholm to the Yankees.
Dealt to Miami The Yankees acquired Ramirez and infielders Jared Serna and Abrahan Ramirez from the Marlins on Saturday in exchange for Jazz Chisholm, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
Impact Ramirez is viewed as the headliner of the Marlins' three-player return package. The 22-year-old catcher slashed .224/.328/.364 with four home runs and five stolen bases in 125 plate appearances with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre since getting promoted from Double-A Somerset in June. With Austin Wells, Jose Trevino and Carlos Narvaez ahead of him on the organizational catching depth chart in New York, Ramirez wasn't on track to make his MLB debut in the near future, but the move to Miami could expedite his arrival to the big leagues. Nick Fortes and Ali Sanchez have been sharing catching duties for the Marlins, but both have OPSes under .500 for the season.

The 22-year-old slashed .224/.328/.364 with four homers and five stolen bases in 125 plate appearances with the Yankees Triple-A affiliate, but he could quickly see action in the bigs with Miami. Nick Fortes and Ali Sanchez have been handling catching duties for the Marlins but both have logged a sub-.500 OPS.

Joins 40-man The Yankees selected Ramirez to their 40-man roster Tuesday.
Impact After starting the season in Single-A, Ramirez hit his way up to Double-A Somerset, where his bat cooled down significantly to end the year. The 22-year-old Ramirez is now the sixth catcher on the Yankees' 40-man roster.
