To send a message to the Clowns, Bulls and Ruffins, the Beatniks stated "I've been in first for most of this season and I'm not giving up without a fight! Where's my homemade beer?"
The Beatniks picked up some needed help on the basepaths and in the bullpen today by acquiring Ben Revere (.27 15+) and JJ Putz (.12 13). To get that help they traded Mike Minor (.07 15+), Zach Lee (.02 Mx) and Brian Goodwin (.05 Mx) to the Rebels.
The Rebels are hoping Minor can give a little "oomph" to their rotation and pick up some points in pitching. Having plenty of relievers on staff already allowed them to part with Putz. Additionally with Hill, Ruiz, Stanton and Tabata all returning from injuries and Marte having a stellar sophomore season, Revere became expendable on the offensive side of things. According to anonymous insiders Rebel management, while not wanting to disrespect any co-owner, is hoping this deal and the renewed health of the club will allow the team to pass another team that didn't complete their roster until days after the draft with the scraps that were left after the rotation draft.
