Minutes after receiving back recent Rule 5 selection Todd Lambright, the Philadelphia Hornets have traded him to Brick Barracudas, the team that had selected him.
"It was a roster mistake," Brick GM Fred Goldfarb told reporters. "We don't have room on the 25-man roster to carry Todd all season and didn't mean to actually draft him in the Rule 5 draft. But, we really wanted him in our organization."
The Hornets were happy to oblige, as the team's depth allowed them to make a deal to help other areas of need. Along with Lambright, the Hornets are sending AA 3B Mike Stewart and a 9th round pick in 2032 to Brick for SA Closer Carlos Gomes.
