Lenape/Admirals Blockbuster Trade

On the heels of the Rule 5 draft at the end of the league's Winter Meetings, the GMs of the Highland Admirals and Shackamaxon Lenape announce a blockbuster trade involving nine players and five draft picks.

The full deal:

Highland sends:

• 1B Manuel Hidalgo
• 3B Tae-sang Pak
• RP Paul Reed
• A SP Jim Atherton
• 1st round pick
• 2nd round pick

Shackamaxon sends:

• SP Kieran Jenkins
• SP Emilio Perez
• 1B Ben Turner
• OF Chris Pace
• AAA 2B Montrel Luttazi
• 1st round pick (originally Brick's, #11 overall)
• 3rd round pick
• 10th round pick

Manuel Hidalgo is the key to the trade, and will join a young and growing potent Shackamaxon lineup. Highland wanted young pitching, and the Lenape had arms to offer. Chris Pace, acquired less than 24 hours ago in the Rule 5 draft, was a late addition to the deal.
