Big trade between up and coming team and rebuilding team

In a trade that will help both teams, Highlands and Norfolk came together to send veterans  and prospect and even low draft picks to each other. Going to Norfolk is SP Iván Gallardo, who was just traded from Brick and will be Norfolks #5 starter this year. MR Ho Zhong, who pitched in 64 games had an era of 3.57. C Mark Porter, who last year was traded from Seattle and hit .267 with 56 rbi's and gunned down 31.7%  runners trying to steal on him. Highlands will also send them 5th and 7th round picks this year. Highlands will receive in the trade 1B Howard Rogers who will play LF this year and bring power to help protect Hidalgo who had a great rookie year. 2B Ramón Macías, who also came over from Seattle in a trade and hit .310 2, 44rbi's in AAA this year can play 4 postions and lastly the big person in the trade is #95 prospect C Tony Cannon, who played in 16 MLB games hit 5 hr's and threw out 37% of base runners. Last prospect is AA RF Iván Alvarado who hit .295 13, 66 last year and also won a gold glove. Both teams hope these players will help them for next season and for seasons to come.
