Former Dodger outfielder Trayce Thompson has found a new home. After being released by the New York Mets on July 3, Thompson signed a minor league deal with the Chicago Cubs.
Tommy Birch of the Des Moines Register reported on the news on Wednesday:
Thompson returns to the Cubs organization after spending most of his 2021 season with the club.
Thompson was designated for assignment by the Mets after posting a .800 OPS with 16 home runs and 44 RBIs in over 253 plate appearances with their Triple-A affiliate. Now, the 33-year-old will join the Cubs’ Triple-A team in Iowa to provide the struggling team with some outfield depth.
