Just to whet your appetite for tomorrow's big announcements, Rome sends catcher Alex Avila to Surprise for Marco Estrada and $100K.  It's important to note that this is not the same $100K that Surprise received from East Greenwich in that other deal.  Don't ask why that's important, it just is. 

Thanks to Marco for his excellent contributions to our 2014 World Series run.  I'm sorry that our time together was so short!

Okay, so now Surprise has a lefty catcher to complement Rosario, so check that off the wish list.  However, we're not done shopping yet!

Current Wish List:

1) Shortstop to replace Y. Escobar

2) RH bat to handle the DH spot

3) Quality LH relief

4) Miscellaneous bench bats to frighten pitchers

Potentially available assets:

1) Draft Picks

2) Prospects not named Jonathan Gray

3) Cash

4) Batters: SS Yunel Escobar, OF/1B Daniel Nava, OF Will Venable, OF Cody Ross, IF Donnie Murphy     

5) Pitchers: LHP Hector Santiago, LHP Martin Perez, LHP Caleb Thielbar, LHP Brian Matusz, RHP Brandon Kintzler, RHP JJ Hoover
