Maui and Highland agreed to a rare Opening Day trade that will send star catcher Aaron Hampton to the sunny shores of Maui. Hampton, who missed almost the entire 2027 season with a ruptured MCL, will be a free agent next year. Hampton did not fit into the future plans for the new Highland front office, particularly after acquiring two promising catching prospects from Shackamaxon and Seattle in recent deals.
In exchange for Hampton, SP Matt McDonald and C Chad Weaver will be calling Highland their new home. To complete the deal, Highland is also sending Maui its 4th and 6th round draft picks, and $3 million cash to cover some of Hampton's salary.
