No, not Ronald Placencia, but 2017 and 2018 AAA Cy Young winner William Haner. He has been traded from Seattle to Cleveland for a 6th round pick. Why did Monarch's GM Mack Shultz make this deal? Well in his own words he said, "What can I say? My team is loaded, there is just no room for Bill on my active roster. He deserves a shot, and I can't think of a better place for him to get that shot that the train-wreck that is Cleveland. He should flourish there."
Steamer's GM Jeremy Goldman could not be reached for comment, but reports are that he is in Washington applying for TARP money to help with the economics of his tortured team. He should also be looking for a new trainer for his team as all his players continue to go down with injuries.
Haner is expected to be inserted directly in the starting rotation for the Steamers and might even become their #1 starter by the end of the year.
And we have our first entry in the 2021 Traded Draft Pick List.
ReplyDeleteHurray! I always like to be on the traded draft pick list.
ReplyDeleteI hope Haner joins AAA MVP Tabito Hara (the subject of an earlier, equally minor Seattle-Cleveland deal) to lead the Steamers back to glory.
Not too much glory, mind you. But some.
