The bleeding of talent from southern California continues in the frentic hours leading to the 2012 trade deadline! This morning, Los Angeles GM Michael Weintraub announced a deal with the Saskatoon Amigos. Heading up to the Canadian prairie is All Star catcher Carlos Barrera, returning to the team that traded him to Los Angeles barely a season ago.
"It's sad to see these players leave," Weintraub stated from his seaside office at the Scorpion Pit. "But, we're building for the future. Between this trade, and the deal with New York, we now have six picks in the first two rounds next season. The infusion of talent we'll be getting is incredible."
Heading to Los Angeles's A-level team on the distant planet of Caprica is 1B Santiago Delrosario, a 2011 1st round pick who has posted an 859 OPS thus far this year. Los Angeles also received Saskatoon's 2nd round pick next season.
"There's still some time before the clock strikes midnight," Weintraub stated as he watched the sun set for the last time before the trading season ended. "We're still in discussions with at least one other owner about making the future even brighter here in the city by the sea."
