Ryan Schimpf traded to Braves by Rays

Former St. Paul’s and LSU infielder Ryan Schimpf is on the move again.

The Tampa Bay Rays have traded Schimpf to the Atlanta Braves in for a player to be named or cash.

Schimpf was designated for assignment two days ago to clear room on the Tampa 40-man roster for newly-signed free agent outfielder Carlos Gomez.

The 29-year-old Schimpf hitd .158 with 14 homers and 25 RBIs in 53 games last season with San Diego. The Rays acquired him in December for a minor league prospect.
