Shiner did their part to keep the hot stove burning with another deal, this time a significantly bigger one.

Bali trades Aaron Harang, Gordon Beckham, BAL #1, BAL #2, and $200K to Shiner

FOR

John Axford, Jason Grilli, Ronny Cedeno, Justin Turner, Christian Friedrich, MGG #1, and SHI #2

Whew, that will take YOC a little time to sort out.  Thanks to Axford and Grilli for their faithful service toward our recent championship.  As for the other three: good luck, we hardly knew ya!

I'm still feeling the trading fever, so let me know if you're interested in Santiago Casilla or have some other bright idea to make Shiner better.  I should also note that I'm not completely attached to our big FA purchase Jordon Pacheco.  So if you really want to see what he could do as an everyday catcher and have a quality 3B to spare, give me a holler...
