Labelle moves on

Mere hours after being acquired by Brick in a trade, Marcel LaBelle has been traded again, this time to rival Shackamaxon.

LaBelle heads across I-195 in exchange for 3B Felipe Mendoza and prospect pitcher Yasushi Mochizuki.

"We've wanted LaBelle all offseason," Shackamaxon GM Michael Weintraub stated. "Once we heard that Fred got him, I was able to pry him loose. We had been wanting to upgrade at third base all winter, and now we got our man."

LaBelle is expected to platoon at third base with Qi-Zhen Huang and provide the super-utility role the team has needed.
