The Seattle Monarchs today traded minor league reliever Darin Sitton across the Cascade Mountains to Walla Walla today for minor league outfielder James Thomas and a fourth round pick in next spring's draft. Sitton posted an ERA of 2.53 in AAA Tacoma last year and had a 3.38 mark this season.
Seattle Director of Player Personnel Michael Shultz explained that the Monarchs didn't see a role for Sitton on the major league squad, but felt that he was ready to contribute and were happy to find him a team where he had a better future. It's longstanding Monarchs policy not to unnecessarily stall players' careers.
Meanwhile, Thomas was added to the Monarchs' continuing RFP project ("Rehabilitating Failed Prospects"). Although the Monarchs' efforts in this direction have borne no fruit so far, they will continue to try.
