Phoenix, AZ--
The Talons are pleased to announce a trade that has been completed with the Edmonton Jackrabbits.
In the deal, the Talons acquire veteran starting pitcher Jubal Troop, while parting ways with young lefthander Antonio Gonzales. Troop, a 34 year old with 45.9 career WAR, will slot in as the Talons #3 starter. Although the Talons had to give up value in Gonzales, they had become slightly dismayed since drafting him in 2042, with his ceiling being not quite as high as the franchise first thought.
"You have to put up a quality piece in order to land an accomplished veteran like Troop," the Front Office said. "But were here to compete for the playoffs. Starting pitching is everything, and Troop has helped lead his team to the postseason in 12 of his 13 career seasons, an incredible accomplishment. That kind of experience is huge."
