Trade: Antelope Valley and Ohio

As promised, the Buckeyes were not done shopping.

Ohio continues rebuilding it's woeful franchise by adding some immediate help and some depth in the infield. Coming over in the trade is veteran 3B Bruce Parker, who will hold down the hot corner for the injury-riddled Buckeyes for the rest of the season, and AAA 3B Alfonso Gutierrez, who can hopefully contribute next year.

Going to Antelope Valley is AAA LF Sun Phan and a 5th round draft pick. The trade gives the Raptors a wide-open budget while also adding a speedy reserve outfielder who can play all 3 positions and lottery ticket in 2025.
