The San Diego Padres have acquired shortstop Jason Bartlett and a player to be determined from the Tampa Bay Rays in exchange for four players.

The Rays will receive right-handers Brandon Gomes and Adam Russell, left-hander Cesar Ramos and infielder Cole Figueroa.

Bartlett will replace Miguel Tejada, who signed with the San Francisco Giants. He made 125 starts at shortstop for the Rays, hitting .254 with four homers and 47 RBIs.

He was selected by San Diego in the 13th round of the 2001 amateur draft.

Russell made 12 relief appearances with San Diego in 2010 while Ramos made 14 relief appearances. Both were in their second big league seasons. Figueroa and Gomes are minor leaguers.
