June II Sim Completed
The sim was done and the league reports have been updated. I haven't had a chance to write up a summary yet. If anyone else wants to do it, I won't object. If not, I'll take care of it later.

Shackamaxon/Brick trade
During a Sunday brunch meeting at a neutral site (Mastori's Diner in Bordentown, NJ), division rivals and soon-to-be family members Fred Goldfarb, GM of Brick, and Michael Weintraub, GM of Shackamaxon, agreed on a trade involving prospects.
Brick receives one of Shackamaxon's top prospects, OF/IF Juan Arroyo, along with a seventh round pick in the 2025 amateur draft, in exchange for pitching prospects Sergio Lujan and Harry Wagner.
In between sips of his soup, Michael Weintraub shared: "We had a log jam of outfield prospects, so we tried Juan at shortstop this season. The experiment wasn't working out, as he had 31 errors in 55 games at short."
"We had asked for pitching prospects in exchange for hitting prospects, and Fred here was willing to oblige."

Need hitting prospects?
I'm looking to balance my top prospect list, which is heavily tilted towards offense.
If you need to boost your minor league lineup, please get in touch with me. Virtually no player in my minors is untouchable.

Trade: Antelope Valley and Ohio
As promised, the Buckeyes were not done shopping.
Ohio continues rebuilding it's woeful franchise by adding some immediate help and some depth in the infield. Coming over in the trade is veteran 3B Bruce Parker, who will hold down the hot corner for the injury-riddled Buckeyes for the rest of the season, and AAA 3B Alfonso Gutierrez, who can hopefully contribute next year.
Going to Antelope Valley is AAA LF Sun Phan and a 5th round draft pick. The trade gives the Raptors a wide-open budget while also adding a speedy reserve outfielder who can play all 3 positions and lottery ticket in 2025.
