Ex-Red Sox outfielder Raimel Tapia signs on with Milwaukee Brewers

Twenty-nine- year-old outfielder Raimel Tapia found a new home two days after he was released by the Red Sox.

The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal reported Tuesday that Tapia had signed with Milwaukee following his Sunday release from Boston.

The outfielder was originally designated for assignment last Monday so the Red Sox would have room on their roster for second baseman Christian Arroyo.

After being unable to find a trade partner during the week, Boston’s chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom let Tapia become a free agent.

Bloom signed Tapia to a minor league contract this past offseason and after a strong spring training, picked him for the Opening Day roster.
