The Miami Marlins have called up top prospect catcher Agustín Ramírez to invigorate their lineup. Noted for his offensive capabilities, Ramírez's combination of contact-hitting and power positions him potentially in the Marlins' middle lineup for years. He was part of a significant trade by the Yankees last season to acquire Jazz Chisholm Jr., excelling in their minor league system before joining the Marlins. His successful MLB debut saw him contributing significantly during the game against the Reds, deepening the impact of this trade on both teams' futures.
Yankees fans will remember Ramírez as the headliner of the prospect haul that Brian Cashman sent to Miami last summer to acquire Jazz Chisholm Jr.
Now that Chisholm has been a Yankee for a while and Ramírez has been called up to the Marlins' major-league roster, it's as good a time as any to look back on this trade.
Ramírez was behind the plate for a gem from young starter Max Meyer, who recorded 14 strikeouts in six shutout innings.
His combination of above-average contact, huge raw power, and a patient approach at the plate makes him a strong candidate to stick in the Marlins' order.
