Purging of the Pirates

In a deal finalized this morning, Rebel management traded fan favorites Starling Martin (.20 16!) and Tony Watson (.15 17+) to the Ruffins in exchange for Joe Panik (.01 17+), Amir Garrett (.05 Mx), Corey Knebel (.03 18+) and the Ruffins first round pick in 2017.

With the trade the Ruffins make a strong statement that they are looking to lock up not only all the offensive categories, perhaps netting them a "Perfect 50" but also doing their level best to lock down title #6.

On the other side, the Rebels now have the dubious distinction of having traded every member of the Pirates stellar outfield.  They will wait patiently by their Inbox, looking for an e-mail from Clown management as to the availability of Amir Garrett.

Clowns - Line Trade (Redux)

The Line, with their sights on the top spot, made another deal with the Clowns to try and shore up their offense.

The Kenndoza Line trade Randal Grichuk (.10 17+), Alex Verdugo (.02 Mx) and Jacob Nottingham (.05 Mx) to the Clowns in exchange for Joey Votto (.39 17+) and Chris Owings (.13 16)

DoorMatts, Killers Deal

Under the cover of darkness the DoorMatts make a move to stay in the running and the Killers work toward the future.

The DoorMatts trade Lance Lynn (.05 18+), Kolten Wong (.07 17!), Jose DeLeon (.02 Mx) and Oscar DeLaCruz (.02 Mx) to the Killers in exchange for Jonathan Papelbon (.19 16), DJ LeMahieu (.03 16) and Curtis Granderson (.15 17+).

Fourth of July Fireworks

It won't exactly match the Burr-Hamilton showdown that's been getting a lot of press lately.  But in their own way, the Clowns and Line made an effort to light some fireworks under their respective teams.

The Clowns trade Adam Wainwright (.29 18+) to the Kenndoze Line in exchange for Michael Conforto (.02 17+)

Happy 4th of July to one and all.
