The Seattle Monarchs and the Brooklyn Wolves have pulled off a trade today, sending veteran pitcher Nicholas Vargas, young left fielder Anson Shearing and Seattle's first round pick to Brooklyn in exchange for Brooklyn's first two picks in the upcoming amateur draft.
Vargas, 30, is a seven year veteran of the major leagues. In the last three years, he has blossomed into a solid major league starter, posting a record of 42-20 with an ERA under 4.00
"We're really looking forward to having Nick on our team," said manager Frank Maus. We needed a guy who can step right into the rotation and provide additional stability. Nick seems to be just the guy to do that."
Shearing, an up-and-coming power-hitting outfielder, is expected to compete for an outfield spot in spring training.
