Lenape add power

With the trading deadline fast approaching, the Shackamaxon Lenape have worked out a trade to add a slugging young batter, Javier Ortiz, formerly of Antelope Valley's AA team, to their lineup. Ortiz has slugged 18 home runs this season for the Sacramento Falcons, including 7 so far in July 2029.

"We had been seeking more power all season, and had identified a few potential additions," Lenape GM Michael Weintraub stated. "With the trade deadline here and Ben Turner out for a few weeks, I reached out to Bill to see if we could make a deal.

Fortunately, he was willing to trade Javier and wanted a young starter in return. While we didn't originally want to give up Paul Gilbert, Bill persisted and a deal was quickly struck."

There were no other players or draft picks involved in the prospect-for-prospect trade.
