Bridgeport, Conn. - The Bridgeport Bluefish today announced the signing of pitcher Ruddy Lugo. Lugo makes his way to Bridgeport for his Park City debut, second season in the Atlantic League and 14th of professional baseball.
"Ruddy will be an excellent addition to our ballclub," says Bluefish manager Willie Upshaw. "He brings experience and versatility to our pitching staff."
