The Tampa Bay Rays have acquired outfielder Harold Ramirez from the Chicago Cubs in exchange for minor league infielder Esteban Quiroz. To clear a spot on the 40-man roster, the Rays have moved right-handed pitcher Nick Anderson to the 60-day Injured List.
Ramirez, 27, began his professional career with the Pittsburgh Pirates after being signed as part of their 2011 international class of amatuer free agents. As he progressed his way through the system, Ramirez eventually became one of the top prospects in baseball as Baseball America tabbed him at the 95th top prospect entering the 2016 season.
