I definitely wanted to be patient. I swore to myself I wouldn't make any trades of consequence until after I went through a season. But I can't help myself. I'm a trade whore. A dirty, dirty trade whore. In a span of a few hours, we negotiated the transfer of 14 players (and a crisp dollar bill). We...

Now on to the second one!

Working on it, I promise.

So happy that my first trade engenders such a wide swath of responses

Johnny Baseball has a home in Louisville.

Well, more like a hovel, but it's fine for a fake baseball player

Confirmed.

Matt, since I'm going away for the next few days, can you just process this trade once the trading period reopens?

Louisville Receives:
SP Alfredo Contreras (ML)
SS Juan Medrano (R)
RP Alexander Rickard (R)



Seattle Receives:

$1

For all those with whom I've been discussing trades (especially SP Ken 'Hotpants' Bates and SP Kevin Morales), I was traveling the last 2 days and am on vacation the rest of the week. I'll be exporting, but may not respond to the trade talks as fast as usual.

so close

I appreciate the effort. I agree it's not worth Ron spending a second more time on this for me to save $4. I'll buy full-price, like a rube, at the last possible second as well.

Thanks, Ron!

Good decision

I would really like it to be changed.

Good idea!

What did he do? I don't see it in game.

SP Ken "Hotpants" Bates has agreed to a 3-year extension that will keep him in Louisville for the near future. "I'll admit, when Brooklyn traded me to Louisville after last season, I went into a deep depression," said Bates. "I'm a winner, and Louisville... isn't. But I've gotten to know all the lo...

We continue our jaunt through the rotation with LHSP Augusto Sánchez . Augusto is a rare find in Louisville: a draftee who actually didn't die! Picked in the 2034 3rd round, Augusto moved through the system in an efficient, unspectacular fashion. This is surprising given his solid ratings (10/7/7 wi...

The number 2034 has a special meaning for the new ownership of the Louisville Sluggers. No, it's not my debit card PIN, so don't even try. It actually is the last season LOU finished over .500. The last season of a glorious seven-season playoff run. The last season LOU appeared in the Landis Memoria...
