.......... Montreal Mostly Quiet at BBA Trade Deadline .....
.....
There were a flurry of transactions across the Brewster Baseball League as the trade deadline inched closer and closer. One deal that likely did not garner a lot of media attention was that of the Montreal Blazers sending two prospects to the Long Beach Surfers for disgruntled and underachieving infielder Tomas Borges. Borges is a lifetime .216 hitter heading into the trade but he has great potential that will be left up to the Blazers' staff to unravel. "We think Tomas will make a great second base platoon for us," Blazers' GM Herb DeSpain said in a statement. "We're not asking him to save the world here, we just want him to mash left handed pitching." Borges will platoon with rookies Coy Skinner and Gehrig Jelinowicz.
