Seattle Shops at Houston's House of Backstops

Following in the footsteps of Shackamaxon, the Seattle Monarchs have also gone shopping at Houston's House of Backstops.  The Monarchs today acquired Armadillo catcher Roberto Perez in exchange for starting pitcher prospect Bret Huff and Seattle's 10th round draft pick in the upcoming draft.

Perez hit .251 for Houston as their backup catcher in 2020, his first full season in the majors.  He is expected to compete with Kevin Craig for the backup job in the Pacific Northwest.  "We're happy to add Roberto," said Owner/GM Mack Shultz.  "It's always good to add some diversity to the clubhouse when we can."

Huff, who posted a 3.27 ERA in AAA last season, adds to Houston's growing collection of Huffs.  Despite all that huffing, the Armadillos deny ever inhaling.
