Deadline Deal

With four days remaining until the Roster Freeze Deadline, the Beatniks and Line pulled off a deal.

The Beatniks traded the alliterative (Beatniks words) Freddie Freeman (.34 17+) and Shawn Kelley (.05 17+) to the Line in exchange for a trove of minor leaguers:  Billy McKinney (.02 Mx), Aaron Blair (.10 Mx) and Albert Almora (.05 Mx).

Rumor has it the Beatniks wouldn't complete the deal unless Cliff Lee was thrown in.  Once they were convinced the Killers have Lee, the Beatniks completed the deal quickly and then consulted their CFCL rolodex for the number to the Killers front office.

If the Killers would just hurry up and release the guy, we could ensconce him into his rightful position as our Pitching Coach for Life.
