Eric StephenSat, November 29, 2025 at 4:07 PM UTC·2 min readThe Dodgers acquired quite a few speedy outfielders who saw time in Triple-A Oklahoma City in 2025. Esteury Ruiz and Justin Dean saw time in the majors, with Dean carving out a highly-specialized nearly daily role in the postseason. Hyeseong Kim technically counts, though most of his time came in the infield in addition to his time in center field.
Steward Berroa was part of this group as well, acquired from the Toronto Blue Jays for cash on May 13. Over the last five seasons, the outfielder stole 122 bases in 305 games between Double-A and Triple-A, including 11 steals in 14 attempts in only 27 games for Oklahoma City.

That made room for infielder CJ Alexander, who like Berroa spent time on the Dodgers’ 40-man roster in 2025 but never got the call to Los Angeles.
On July 9 the Dodgers traded Berroa to the Brewers for cash considerations. He did get the call to the majors with Milwaukee, but only for two games, after playing 28 games for the Blue Jays in 2024. Though he only got the big league call for one of his three organizations in 2025, Berroa this year was employed by the Dodgers as well as their final two postseason opponents.
