Shackamaxon/Seattle trade

In an effort to bolster its bench, the upstart Lenape of Philadelphia has acquired former prospect Steve Keo from Seattle.

Going to Seattle is 21-year-old Ken Moore, ranked as number 15 in Shackamaxon's top prospect list.

"We hate to give up Ken," Shackamaxon general manager Michael Weintraub stated. "We have a log-jam of infielders in Arizona Bay, and needed to make room for others. Plus, we really needed another bat for the outfield. I've had my eye on Steve since we originally traded him to Seattle a few years ago for Cuomo. He hasn't flourished in Seattle, but we think a change of scenery will do him well."
