Trade: River Cities and Hickory

Dateline: Last Minute Ohiotown!

In what was expected River Cities has dealt longtime second baseman to Hickory for a 2018 first round pick. The move is a sign that River Cities owner Nate Wooley isn't convinced that his team can overcome its poor start and make the playoffs this year. It also provides some return for a player going into free agency.

Okane is still on the market for the same sort of return.
