There were two owners who had players coming off of DFA (from free agent signings) and no place to put them on the active roster (and out of options). I was forced to make a judgement call as to who to replace on their rosters. In the future, please do not make me have to make these choices for your team. In the future, I may just release any such players, even if they were just signed to free agent contracts.

Seattle-London Trade II: The Exodus Continues
Apparently, a new migration pattern is taking hold between Seattle and London. Two weeks after centerfielder Brandon Reed was dealt to the Dragons, Monarchs reliever Masatake Shibata packed his bags and boarded a British Airways long-haul flight for the UK.
"Brandon apparently called Shibata and told him a lot of good things about London," said Seattle GM/Owner Mack Shultz. "Something about crumpets and bangers and mash and a lot of other things that sounded made up to me. I guess Shibata liked what he heard though, because he wants to go there now too. Luckily, Scott was willing to make that happen."
In return, Seattle netted a sixth-round pick in next year's draft, also known as a guy who will probably get cut in two years.

Seattle - London Trade
SEATTLE (AP) - The Seattle Monarchs today announced that they shipped promising outfield prospect Brandon Reed to the London Dragons in exchange for a third-round pick in next year's draft.
"Brandon felt that he deserved an opportunity to play in the majors," said Seattle Owner/GM Mack Shultz. "Unfortunately, he wasn't going to get that opportunity here. We reached out to Scott in London to see if he was interested. Given Brandon's obvious talent, Scott indicated that he was and the deal soon followed. We wish Brandon and the Dragons nothing but the best of luck in the upcoming season."
Shultz continued, "We don't always try to trade players in Brandon's situation. Sometimes, we have guys who pout if they're not on the major league roster. Usually, we just cut them. Watch the next transactions wire for some examples. But Brandon's a good kid who we felt could help another major-league team."
Reed was a third-round choice in the 2022 draft, making the third-round pick in this trade somewhat appropriate. Reed hit .288 and .283 in the last two seasons for Seattle's AAA affiliate and, the year before that, was named the AA Most Outstanding Hitter.
