Lenape retool for playoff push

In the aftermath of a dreadful sim, which continued a twelve-game losing streak (in the middle of a 17-losses-in-21-games stretch), and ended with the left side of their infield on the disabled list, the Shackamaxon Lenape have made a trade to try to stop the bleeding.

The Lenape traded 1B prospect Jaime Alvarez to the Antelope Valley Raptors in exchange for infielder Hernando Albacete and reliever Adam Hone. Shackamaxon GM Michael Weintraub explained the move, saying "We needed an infielder in the short term, and Albacete will step in and start at the hot corner for us until Hukill recovers. After that, he'll be a key bench bat and glove. Hone will fit right in as a late inning arm for us."

"We didn't want to trade Alvarez," Weintraub continued. "But, with both Matt Stokes and Luis Lozano waiting in the minors, he was expendable."

The Lenape also received the Raptors' second round pick in the 2025 draft.
