Shiner finally gets into the trading spirit by making a big deal with that feisty new Goose Island team. As previously noted, Shiner pretty much wants to pretend that their last off-season never happened, so it shouldn't be a surprise that several of their recent acquisitions are hitting the road after only one season. I certainly expected the Evan Longoria Era to last longer than this, but...
Shiner trades Evan Longoria, CJ Wilson, Scott Feldman, and $120K in traveler's checks TO Goose Island
FOR Jimmy Nelson, Lonnie Chisenhall, Lewis Brinson, Jose Peraza, Michael Kopech, and the GOO #2
Whew! We're definitely rebuilding now! So bring on those fabulous offers for RA Dickey, Josh Collmenter, Matt Garza, Jake McGee, Jake Diekman, Ryan Zimmerman, Nick Markakis, and even Yadier Molina. However, please note that I REALLY need to be strict now about taking carded players instead of prospects and/or picks.
