Encarnaci\u00f3n had been acquired hours earlier from the \u00c1guilas Cibae\u00f1as in a negotiation that involved outfielder Jasson Dom\u00ednguez, reliever Wilkin Ramos, and a ninth-round pick from the 2026 Rookie Draft.\n\nThe general manager of the Escogido, Carlos Pe\u00f1a, thanked the players who left the organization and highlighted the impact they expect from the new addition.\n\n&#8220;We are very grateful for the professionalism of Dom\u00ednguez and Ramos during their time with the team. At the same time, we are excited to add Bruj\u00e1n, a dynamic and versatile player who can influence the game in multiple ways in important moments,&#8221; Pe\u00f1a expressed.\n\nBruj\u00e1n, 28 years old and a switch-hitter, has participated in 162 regular season games in the Dominican league over seven seasons, wearing the uniforms of the Toros del Este and the Estrellas. In that period, he has accumulated an on-base percentage of .345, with 60 stolen bases, 20 doubles, 78 runs scored, and 54 RBIs.\n\nThe speedy player has led the league in stolen bases twice: in the 2020-21 season with 11 steals and again in the 2023-24 campaign with 24, a year in which he also recorded an outstanding on-base percentage of .400.\n\nIn the LIDOM postseason, Bruj\u00e1n has a batting average of .261 in 44 games, with 18 runs scored, six doubles, nine stolen bases, and an OBP of .341.\n\nAt the Major League level, the native of San Pedro de Macor\u00eds has played 261 games with organizations such as the Tampa Bay Rays, Miami Marlins, Chicago Cubs, Baltimore Orioles, and Atlanta Braves.\n\nCurrently, Bruj\u00e1n is part of the New York Mets organization, where he seeks to secure a spot on the roster for the start of the Major League season.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Santo Domingo.
