With Murder Charges Ruled Out, Sox GM Begins Selloff by Trading Yogi

Isam goes to Sacramento for a U-Haul full of 'spects


Chicago, November 16, 2052 -- Just two weeks after the Illinois Attorney General suddenly ended his grand jury investigation into the 27-bullet hole 'accidental' death of Black Sox owner Vinnie Vitale, Sox GM Mike Dunn, finally free of the specter of criminal charges, began a massive sell-off of his last place team.

Isam goes, Charriere arrives
Dunn's first move: sending one of the most popular Sox, SS Badr "Yogi" Isam, to Sacramento for a truck full of prospects, most of them arms. Here's the return:
SP Dirk Bessi AAA
SP Carlos Moya AAA
SP Matuha Kalinda AAA
SP Ju-ao Huie R
3B Jeremy Starks ML
SS Henri Charriere ML

The team issued the following statement: "We are truly saddened to bid farewell to Yogi, one of our best players in the past four years and certainly one of the most popular. We hope this move brings him a chance to compete in the post-season. Our thanks to Sacramento GM Doug Olmstead, and we do hope that he eventually buys himself some shoes."

Fans were not too pleased to see Yogi depart:

However the mood of fans rebounded once they realized that nationally popular shortstop Henri Charriere was coming to the Sox to take Isam's place, at least for the time being:

Sources indicate the front office is far from finished. Among those still being shopped are SP Bernie Stuart, 2B Scott Torres and closer Clarence Pritchard. "More to come!" Dunn promised.
