I thought that Art was going to announce this one, but apparently not. Surprise sends Crazy Jose Guillen and Damion Easley to Manhattan in exchange for CMD#1, MAN#3, and $150K. Jose immediately guaranteed that Manhattan's run of 100+ loss seasons would come to an abrupt end with him playing every day. Also, the next time he sees Mike Scioscia, he will punch that @$)$()#!$()(* in the face. Easley was one of the few remaining players from our championship season way back in 2006, so that's another key veteran leader. Look out for the Manhattan Bandits!
I'll take this opportunity to announce that Surprise is not only interested in young talent. We could also make room for new reclamation projects, particularly in the OF and pitching staff. In exchange, we could offer prospects or picks...but not the best ones of course.
