The Mariners get a little catching insurance here with Ruiz, who turns 38 next year. He is expected to serve as a backup to Mike Zunino (who is started to emerge at the big-league level late in 2016). Ruiz could start if Zunino falters again.

In Nuno, the Dodgers get a decent left-hander capable of both starting and relieving in the big leagues. Expect LA to utilize him in relief in 2017. Moving Ruiz opens the door for Austin Barnes to win a job as the backup catcher next season.

Ruiz's best fantasy days are clearly behind him, though he might still provide a little week-to-week value in 2017 if he gets hot with the bat. Nuno has very little fantasy value, since he is not expected to be part of the Dodgers' starting rotation in 2017.
