VAL 2061 Ka-Boom Trade Block

[DugoutDesperado]

After Valencia's less than dismal performance last week where the team went 1-5 including a sweeping at the hands of the Yellow Springs Nine, the front office is making an announcement. The team record has dropped to 37-43 which lands the 7 games behind the final wild card slot. It also puts 5 teams between the Stars and the playoffs if the season ended today.

With that being said, Valencia has posted its initial trade block:
