Trayce Nikolas Thompson (born March 15, 1991) is an American professional baseball outfielder who is a free agent.

[2] The Chicago White Sox selected Thompson in the second round of the 2009 MLB Draft, and he signed rather than enroll at UCLA.

Thompson started his baseball career in 2009 at the Rookie level with the Bristol White Sox and Great Falls Voyagers.

[3] In 2011, Thompson again played the whole season with Kannapolis hitting .241 in 519 at-bats, and was named to the mid-season SAL All-star team.

[5] The White Sox promoted Thompson to the major leagues on August 3, 2015,[6] and he made his debut the next day.

[7] On December 16, 2015, Thompson, along with Micah Johnson and Frankie Montas, were traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers as part of a three team trade that sent Todd Frazier to the White Sox and José Peraza, Brandon Dixon and Scott Schebler to the Cincinnati Reds.

[11] When his injury did not respond to treatment, he underwent an X-Ray which revealed that he had multiple fractures in his back,[12] which kept him out of action for the rest of the season.

He spent the 2019 season with the Triple-A Columbus Clippers, playing in 89 games and hitting .219/.294/.482 with 24 home runs, 56 RBI, and 8 stolen bases.

[24] He re-signed with the Diamondbacks on a minor league deal on November 2, 2020, but played in only four games for the Triple-A Reno Aces in 2021, going 5-18.

[25] Thompson played in 88 games for the Triple-A Iowa Cubs, hitting .233 with 21 home runs and 63 RBI's.

[33][34] Thompson remained on the Dodgers active roster the rest of the season, hitting .268 with 13 home runs and 39 RBI in 74 games.

[10] On January 13, 2023, Thompson agreed to a one-year, $1.45 million contract with the Dodgers, avoiding salary arbitration.

[36] With this game, Thompson became the first player in Major League history to drive in eight or more runs in their season debut since the RBI became an official statistic in 1920.

[39] On July 28, 2023, Thompson, Nick Nastrini, and Jordan Leasure were traded to the Chicago White Sox in exchange for pitchers Lance Lynn and Joe Kelly.

[48] Thompson represents Great Britain in international competition; he is eligible as his father Mychal is from the Bahamas, which is part of the British Commonwealth.
