Barely a week into the new year, the Maui Mashers and the Hickory Huskers clearly aren't sitting on their laurels. The two teams announced a trade today that is already being dubbed by some sportswriters (well, this one anyway) as the Great Catcher Caper of 2019. In what may be a first in the SDMB OOTP league, a total of four (!) catchers are changing teams in the same deal.
Maui will send veteran backstop Thomas Geter and his backup Douglas "Fritz" Stiger to Hickory. In exchange, Hickory will send catcher Kareen King and highly touted prospect Barney Maxon, currently on Hickory's AAA squad, to the warm climes of Maui. Also going to Maui is MR Manuel Galindo. No word yet on whether Maui will attempt to convert Galindo into a catcher purely for entertainment purposes. To complete the deal, Hickory will receive a 3rd round pick in the upcoming amateur draft from Maui.
