Shackamaxon acquires a fireman

The Shackamaxon Lenape and Brick Barracudas have a trade to announce:

Heading to Shackamaxon are relief pitcher Pino Pontoni and infield prospects Millard Peterson and Mario Zuziela in exchange for infield prospect Darryl Fuller and starting pitching prospect John Knight.

Pontoni is expected to help lock down the back of the Lenape games with Anthony White and Joe Younger, as well as provide some veteran experience for the young up-and-coming Lenape franchise.

Brick envisions Fuller as their 3B of the future, a role that was already fulfilled, so to speak, in Shackamaxon. "With Gene Reynolds set to hit free agency after this season," Brick GM Fred Goldfarb explained. "We needed a young 3B ready to step in."

"We see Peterson forming a strong double-play tandem with Jesus Mejia in Arizona Bay," Shackamaxon GM Michael Weintraub stated. "Pino will be expected to tutor our young relief studs this year."
