Deadline Deals

With the trade deadline just 48 hours away there have been two trades that have just been accepted!

The first trade is between the Louisville Long Balls and the Little Rock Jaeger Bombs. A 1 for 1 deal, where the Long Balls sent 3b/ss Gregg Mann to the Jaeger Bombs for 3b/util Jesse Hoyt. Interesting trade as both players are very similar, Louisville gets the nod here by ditching a big contract in a rebuilding mode and possibly getting the better player.

The second trade is between Wild Card contender the Helena Grizzlies and the Colorado Mountain Goats. In their push for the playoffs Helena went out and bolstered its rotation with sp Julio Gonzalez. The team gave up 2b Ahmad Thurman and lr / spot starter Lonny Johnson, who has some very nice pitch projections and could be a solid pitcher for gomiami, wherever the team moves next season.
