The Bulls front office announced today the acquisition of C Robert Bloomquist and minor league P Nelson Williams from the Seattle Storm in exchange for MR Esequiel Mejia. "Bloomquist will give us an immediate upgrade in depth at catcher and should split time with Pablo Aroaujo. He is more of a power bat, yet is still solid defensively as is - and will remain - our focus. That's not to mention that, at 24 years of age, Bloomquist has a very high ceiling. Williams is a solid arm for our bullpen and also has some room to develop," said GM Ben Teague. The team also freed up about $1.5 million in cap space with the move in preparation for a possible move to shore up a glaring weakness on offense so far this season.
