He is not amused
The Piggy does not enjoy traitors. If you would like one among these heathens you must take them all. Would like a 1st round pick and middle relief, but other offers will be looked at.
Herman Gossard, Third Base (Catcher Too)
Gene Brobst, Starting Pitcher
Kenneth McGlone, Leftfield
Jose Martinez, Rightfield

Saskatoon-Cleveland swap
Saskatoon (CP)
The Saskatoon Amigos bolstered their bullpen Friday, picking up closer Curtis Barksdale from Cleveland in exchange for outfield prospect Ariel Gutierrez.
The deal is a homecoming of sorts for Barksdale, 28, who was drafted by Saskatoon in the 50th round of the 2002 draft. He was a Zotti League all-star as a rookie in 2011 and has 12 saves so far this year.
Barksdale will share the set-up duties for Amigos' closer Teodoro Amaral, said Saskatoon GM Trevor Pritchard.
"We're happy to bring one of the original Amigos back into the fold," said Pritchard.
"With (current set-up man Glenn) Harvell we've now got a potent one-two punch before Amaral gets into the game."
Coincidentally, Harvell was picked up by Saskatoon from the Seattle Monarchs in 2009 in a deal involving Barksdale.
Unnamed sources say that the Amigos may be looking to move Amaral, a potential free agent who has 15 saves and a 2.83 ERA in 36 games this season.
Gutierrez was hitting .327 with single-A Tisdale before Friday's deal.

Los Angeles / Hickory trade
Continuing the good relations forged by the offseason Shunk/Cohen, et al. trade, the GMs for Los Angeles Scorpions and Hickory Huskers are proud to announce another trade of a Scorps superstar to the Adams League challenger.
Heading to the prairie is strikeout maestro Johnny Cowherd, a solid setup reliever who may step into the closer's role with the 2nd place Huskers. The Scorpions receive 2B prospect Roberto Ferrer and a 4th round pick in the 2013 draft.
"Yes, we are," LA owner/GM Michael Weintraub affirmed when asked if the team was undergoing a fire sale. "I can't deny that the past ten seasons haven't been productive and rewarding, but now our time is over. It's time to plan for the next ten."
Recent trades involving Luis Jeon and Duane Gerhardt have both brought younger prospects and high draft picks, and Weintraub hopes the trend continues.
"We have plenty of good players still available for trade, like catcher Carlos Barrera (on his way to his fifth All Star appearance), two-time All World shortstop Ricky Peppers, versatile infielder Robert Young, consistent 3.00 ERA starter Jeffrey Shuttleworth, and, of course, the best pitcher in the game, closer Junior Cuomo."
Weintraub rattled off a few more names, but it's clear his mind was elsewhere. "Anyway," he finished. "The other owners know how to reach me if they want to make a deal. Until then, I'll be sitting on the beach here, waiting for my iPhone to ring, and sipping margaritas until Mexico runs out of tequila!"

Career Accomplishments
I saw some things of interest when I was glancing at the Career Leaderboard today.
On June 2, Michael Fay became the first player in league history to steal 500 bases. Fay also picked up his 300th double on June 4, only the fifth person to reach that mark. Fay also scored his 1,000th run on May 21, the second person to crest that plateau. Sure, 99.9% of his stats came playing for Saskatoon, but he's hit these significant milestones as a Monarch!
On May 18, Gregory Mudge became the third player in league history to hit 300 home runs. He should soon pass John Redman and move into second all-time on the home run list. On May 5, Mudge also became the eighth person to accumulate 1,500 hits. Mudge is also 31 RBI away from becoming the second hitter to reach 1,000.
Anything on the career leaderboard catch your eye?
