<t>This is per a story on Rumbunter that quotes Morosi from MLB Network. It describes how the teams could be a good match given the Dodgers prospect depth, especially at catcher. They have 3 highly ranked catching prospects including their #1 prospect, Keibert Ruiz, who is a 20 year-old at AA. I als...
