In a shocking announcement today, Cougars' GM Brett Golden has announced that the Cougars Trade Block is effectively closed!
Reports, rumors, and leaks have linked the Cougar GM to very active talks lately, with Golden himself initiating a lot of trade offers. Its no secret that Super-Closer Keijo 'Coach' Reini, the Johnson League leader in strikeouts with 137 (projected to 274) and a whopping 16.8 K:9 rate, has been the main piece that Golden has been shopping either.
When asked about his comment, GM Golden had this to say:
"Look, there's a lot of teams clamoring about needing bullpen help. We've offered up one of the best relievers in the BBA, and have even offered deals that the BBA-sage, Ted Schmidt, would roast me for in his trade analysis, and we couldnt get more than a nibble. Yet, there's another post about needing a reliever.
Add to that all these teams now declaring "Fire Sale," and its just not worth it any more. We'll play out the season with what we've got and see where things lie this offseason."
When asked if he would even entertain any trade offers, Golden responded by saying, "Sure, I'll listen. Am I going to be as easy to take advantage of as I was yesterday? Ha. Not a chance. When those playoff bubble-teams dont make it in and you hear, if only I had X....well, X was available to you and offered to you so now pull up a bar stool and watch what might have been with me. I'll even let them buy me the beer. And when that playoff team does their post-season, I cant believe that happened, again, declaration - well, I promise I wont snicker too loudly."
