Dateline, Cape Canaveral -- In the wake of the All-Star game hoopla River Cities and Ohio have pulled a deal that they hoped would pass unnoticed. River Cities sends minor league prospects SS Esteban Ordonez and LF Lai-Hsiang Xiang to Ohio in return for relief pitcher Larry Dull and Ohio's 4th Round pick in next year's amateur draft.
Reached at the pre-launch party for his upcoming space tourism trip and surrounded by oh-so-hot Ally Sheedy lookalikes hoping to audition for 'Space Camp II: Zero G Experimentation' River Cities owner Nate Wooley stated "We need some Dull around this place. It's constant noise and such. I thought by acquiring the guy with the name I could get some peace and quiet around here."
When informed of the trade Dull remarked...well, he said...err. Urm. Well, honestly he lived up to his name and this reporter fell asleep during his remarks. But I'm sure he said something, sports fans!
Will this be it for the Sternwheelers? Or is there more dealing ahead. River Cities may have the best record in the game right now but that hasn't stopped owner Nate Wooley from looking to improve in the past. Time will tell the tale!
This is the first I'm hearing of this trade. Can the participants please e-mail me their confirmations?
