Which Padres players have also played for the Rays? MLB Immaculate Grid Answers September 14

The Tampa Bay Rays and San Diego Padres find themselves at a crossroads with today's MLB Immaculate Grid. Unfortunately, these two teams don't have much to do with each other and have very little crossover, likely because the Rays are a younger team. There are only 77 players you can name in this section of the grid.

Slugging first baseman Ji Man Choi fits here. The journeyman has been with more than a few teams, most notably getting quite a lot of playing time for the Rays for a couple of seasons. This year, he was traded to the Padres, making him a perfect answer.

At the time of writing, just 3% of players had used him, so he is a very rare answer.
