The Seattle Monarchs traded two pitching prospects on the cusp of the majors, MR Julio Lopez and SP Lyndon Nix, and with a fourth-round pick in next year's draft to the Highland Admirals in exchange for Highland's picks in the first and second rounds next year.
Nix was Seattle's #1 starting pitcher in AAA Tacoma, and slated for the next open spot in the big leagues. Lopez was serving as a set-up man in Tacoma and is one of the top left-handed relief prospects in all of the minors.
"We thought very highly of Lyndon and Julio," said Seattle Owner/GM Mack Shultz, "but it's hard to stand in their way when they've got a chance to shine in another organization. We wish both of them the best of luck in their careers, or at least in their games against other teams."
