Redondo Beach, CA -- The four-time defending Cecil Cup champions South Bay Scorpions are pleased to announce the acquisition of OF Jerry Dehaven from the Saskatoon Cottacks in exchange for farmhand OF Louis Ray.
"Wow!" Dehaven exclaimed upon hearing the news. "Watching them beat us in the Cup last year was like watching a maestro direct the symphony. I'm ecstatic to join the team!"
South Bay Owner/GM Michael Weintraub explains the reasoning behind the trade: "We just lost James Larson, our starting LF, for two months, just as we're in a battle with -- wait, who are they again?. It hurts to lose a promising youngster like Louis, but we wish him luck in the frozen tundra. We just needed to make a move to shore up our outfield."
Ray was acquired by South Bay earlier this season from Danville. "I never even got a chance to see the ocean," he mused. "But, it's nice to be wanted. I hope I'll at least get a hit when I face South Bay in the Cup in a few years!"
Additionally, South Bay acquired Saskatoon's fourth round draft pick in 2009.
