Trade: Monck's Corner and Ohio

Dateline: The Beautiful South...In a stunning move to cross the aisle and to continue to cross Dixie line cultural understanding the teams from Ohio and Monck's Corner, SC have completed a astonishingly eye-catching deal today!

Monck's Corner is sending a package of three top players, catcher Travis Sparrow, left fielder George Vidal, and center field prospect Zander Boreland to Ohio in return for ace starting pitcher Bruno Talamantez.

Reached on a small craft in the Cypress Garden bayou east of Monck's Corner where he was counting and wrestling alligators said this about the deal, "We needed another quality starter and...GET THAT ONE...Bruno was the guy we knew. GET A LOOK AT THAT RIPPAH... Plus, c'mon, we're trading a guy named 'Sparrow' for a guy named 'Bruno'. It's like we're trading Johnny Depp for Sasha Baron Cohen. How do we NOT win?"

Talamantez, reached on the road had this to say about the deal, "Thank goodness. I know I'm a great pitcher and being stuck on a team like Ohio wasn't doing me any good. When I was coming up in the River Cities system they were always right at the top...what? They're 5-9, too? What? Chupe mantequilla de mi culo! No puedo creer esta mierda!"

Opening Day Delayed

My apologies everyone, but one owner has far too many players on his roster.  I'm going to give him a day or so to fix it before I go in and do the job myself.  :)

We'll try again tomorrow night.

Welcome To Opening Day!!!

First sim of the season will be Wednesday night.  Please make sure your roster is down to 25 players by then.

Need a CF?

Shackamaxon has three CF types on my roster available for trade. Ideally, I'd move one of them, but two can go.

They are...

• Alva Mendonca - right handed, and a good platoon batter, he had a bit of a down season in 2018, but is a solid contributor. Only making $800k this season.
• Anton Suarez - left handed, and a solid hitter. He was going to be my starter before I signed Michael Slye and put him in the OF. Making $1.02m this season.
• Clarence Horta - left handed, but not all that great of a hitter. He's only 28, and could start to hit in a new home (he was a good prospect but never developed in my system). He's a defensive wiz, and can run. He's the perfect 5th OF, and only making $317k this season.

I'd listen to offers for my three OF starters (Slye, Lopez, and Evanoff) but the goal is to trade one of the three listed above. I'd take a middling prospect, draft pick, or a back-of-the-rotation starter, or even a right-handed MR, in exchange.

The Brooklyn Wolves have several players available for trade.  Among them are:

I also have several members of my bullpen available -- most of whom are quality relievers.

What am I looking for?  Prospects.  Prospects, prospects and prospects.  Oh yeah, and prospects.

* Michael -- I was able to include the traded draft pick in this draft after all.  Please do not include it in next year's traded draft picks list.

I put off the draft for a day.  An issue needs to be resolved regarding the recent Shackamaxon/Maui trade before the draft can proceed.   We'll try again on Sunday.
