Precocious teenager Madeleine Weintraub, marketing intern, stepped to the podium at Ashburn Park, home of the Philadelphia Hornets, and looked down at her notes. Her father, Hornets GM Michael Weintraub, and grandfather, Brick GM Fred Goldfarb, stood proudly behind her.
"I'm glad to announce that Daddy and Pop-Pop have made a trade and asked me to announce it," she began. "This is the first trade we have made with our new name.
"The Hornets are sending AAA 1B Javier --." She turned around to ask her father a question about pronunciation before continuing. "Javier, Javier Cisneros and a fifth round draft pick to the Barracudas for Rookie CF Juan Romero and AA RP David Torres.
"This trade will benefit both teams, as Daddy had too many first basemen and Pop-Pop needed one. Daddy also got a prospect he really liked, as well as a pitcher he used to have last season."
Behind her, Weintraub and Goldfarb shook hands before each hugged young Madeleine.
