2039.08 Aviators shopping Pena...to expansion teams

Ismael Pena isn't anyone's idea of a superstar.

But the twenty-five year old has developed a reputation as a handy utility guy to have around a big league club. He's an awesome defender across the infield and is a pretty solid dude. You don't sign him for his bat, but he won't kill you with it either.

But the Aviators are shopping him.

"Ideally," explained the Aviators GM Genius Hopkins," I can flip him to an expansion team. Typically teams will leave unprotected, high priced veterans that may not be worth their salary anymore in the expansion draft. If an expansion team can pick up a good, old, but overpriced reliever, why then, I'd be happy to send them Pena in return. What does an expansion team need with a reliever anyways? Unless, I miss my guess, they could very well have a need for a savvy defensive veteran in the middle of their infield. With that other minor middle east league scooping up players, guys like Pena may be in short supply."

And, if not, he can always back up the Aviators 2040 infield.

Interestingly though, not the first one to employ a similar tactic. :blink:

I do appreciate the passive-aggressiveness.....
