10/20/23 DJ Stewart had a great month for the Mets. Stewart was signed by the Mets in February as some minor league depth who had an outside shot to make the club as a fifth outfielder. It's hard to remember at this point, but this was the time of late period Darin Ruf, and so bench spots were at a premium. Because of that, he did not make his Mets debut until July 4. For his first 23 games as a Met, Stewart was a middling player at best, collecting only seven hits, two for extra bases.

8/22/23 Where will Mets find their DH in 2024? 5 early options to consider. The Mets' current wave of wins remains still seems like nothing more than a consolation prize in a lost season. All eyes are firmly set on the future and while Steve Cohen and Billy Eppler are adamant that they'll be World Series contenders in 2025 or 2026, there is little excuse to put together a playoff contender next year. Amongst the team's largest needs outside of an uncertain rotation is the designated hitter spot after two years of underwhelming production from experiments gone wrong. Darin Ruf never cut it and while he was shown the door early in the year, Daniel Vogelbach got most of this season and couldn't find a groove when it mattered most.

7/06/23 SF Giants trade deadline primer: What are their needs and who could fit?. Less than a month away from MLB's Aug. 1 trade deadline, front office phone lines are heating up. The Giants have a few paths they can take. Last year, president Farhan Zaidi offloaded a handful of veteran reserves — Darin Ruf, Curt Casali, Matthew Boyd — but didn't go full sell mode, opting to hold on to Carlos Rodón and Joc Pederson. In 2021, you'll remember, Zaidi made a surprise splash by acquiring Kris Bryant for a pair of prospects.

5/15/23 Ruf signs with Brewers after refusing minor league assignment from Giants. First baseman/outfielder Darin Ruf agreed to a one-year contract with the Milwaukee Brewers on Monday, two days after he elected free agency rather than accept an outright assignment to the minor leagues with the San Francisco Giants. Milwaukee will pay $541,935, a prorated share of the $720,000 major league minimum, and the Giants are responsible for the rest of Ruf's $3 million salary plus a $250,000 buyout of his contract's 2024 team option. San Francisco designated the 36-year-old for assignment on May 9. Ruf hit .261 with no homers and three RBIs in nine games with the Giants this season.

5/09/23 Giants vs. Nationals Gamethread. The San Francisco Giants have won their last two series, both against very good teams. But after a feckless loss to the Washington Nationals on Monday night, the Giants are in danger of dropping a series to a not very good team. But help is on the way. Prior to the game, the Giants made a flurry of moves . Darin Ruf was designated for assignment. Cal Stevenson was optioned. But the big news is who was called up: infielder Casey Schmitt, one of the top prospects in the organization, who gets an aggressive promotion after just 65 games above A-ball. Schmitt, who won the Minor League Gold Glove Award at third base in 2022 will make his MLB debut tonight, and will start at shortstop. The Giants have

4/27/23 Thursday BP: Happy Birthday J.D. Davis!. Good morning, baseball fans! We'd like to wish a happy birthday to J.D. Davis! I think it's fair to say that the San Francisco Giants won their trade with the New York Mets during last year's deadline, which saw Darin Ruf head to New York, and end up back in San Francisco in time to score runs against them last weekend. In return, the Giants acquired Thomas Szapucki, Nick Zwack, Carson Seymour, and J.D. Davis. It's Davis that we're here to talk about today, though, because it's his birthday! And he's having quite the season for the Giants so far. Not only is he batting .292/.342/.528 with five home runs and 16 RBI in 72 at bats, but he's having a defensive renaissance, as KNBR's Danny Emerson

4/13/23 Mets' failed slugger — who 'wished I could've played better' — has 2 hits and RBI in debut with new team. Darin Ruf knew Mets fans were going to have questions, and the first one would be: What the hell? Days after Ruf was released by the Mets because he couldn't hit, he slipped into a familiar San Francisco Giants jersey and a familiar lineup and went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI in a 10-5 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Ruf hit .152 in 28 games with the Mets after being traded in August and an anemic .167 in 35 plate appearances this spring before the Mets designated him for assignment.
