The Tampa Bay Rays completed a trade with the Atlanta Braves on Thursday evening when they sent relief pitcher Jeff Ridgway to the Braves for Willy Aybar and Chase Fontaine.
The Rays traded Ridgway who was pretty good last year at Triple A for a utility infielder in Aybar, and Fontaine who was the Braves 2nd round draft pick in the 2006 draft. Aybar will be able to help out the Rays once he recovers from a hand / wrist injury that will keep him out most of Spring Training. Fontaine I would expect to start at High A ball, or even Double A.
