The Cape Fear Swamp Foxes and Madison Wolves have reached an agreement on a trade that will send 31-year-old shortstop Ken Proctor to Cape Fear. In return, Madison acquires 23-year-old left-handed pitcher Jose Monsivals, 21-year-old right-handed reliever Alejandro Ramiraze, and 28-year-old shortstop Kensaku Kato.
General Manager Simon expressed gratitude for Proctor's contributions:
"Ken has been the epitome of professionalism during his time with us. His leadership and dedication were invaluable in our clubhouse. While it's difficult to part ways, with his contract up for renewal and promising prospects emerging, we believe this move benefits both Ken and our organization. We wish him the best as he joins a team poised for a deep playoff run."
Proctor departs with a career batting average of .211 and 53 home runs, leaving a lasting impact on the Wolves both on and off the field.

Kensaku Kato: An experienced shortstop, Kato has played in 393 games, achieving a .250 batting average with 311 hits, including 61 doubles and 26 home runs. His defensive versatility and experience add depth to the Wolves' infield.
