Sim Run (and an important trade note)

I'm pinch-hitting for Zev and ran the sim that brought us to December 23, 2024.

I processed the Seattle/Maui trade, as well as the Brick/Shackamaxon trade(s)*. There were no major league contracts signed in the past week

The next sim, taking us closer to New Years Day 2025, will be on Monday night.

* A note about the trade Fred and I did in this sim: You may note that the Lenape player heading to Brick is pitcher Joshua Stoker, and not infielder Matt Stokes. This was due to a massive communication screw-up between Fred and myself. Even though he originally asked for "Stokes" in email to me, and we even negotiated this trade in person at a Phillies game last weekend, Fred intended all along to trade for Joshua Stoker, not Matt Stokes.

So, after the announced deal was completed, Fred realized his/our mistake, and we re-worked the deal. Stokes was replaced by Stoker, Miguel Flores was added, as was Brick's 1st round pick, and closer prospect Carlos Placeres replaced Bernardo Franco.

The net result of the deal:

Shackamaxon sent Joshua Stoker, Miguel Flores, and a sixth-round pick to Brick for AAA CL Carlos Placeres, AA 2B Angel Rodriguez, A 3B Tzu-hsia Wang, and a first-round pick.

Needless to say, between this deal and my marriage two weeks ago to his daughter, Fred and I are quite "Stoked" about how things are going.
