The Surprise Zombies finally made a bold move to shore up their injury-plagued pitching rotation by adding veteran ace Kevin Gausman from the Diego Garcia Gators! We're thrilled to welcome him, but the price was high!
In exchange for Gausman and an exciting DGG #8, Surprise sent the following to Diego Garcia: SUR #1, $200K in Florida Gator memorabilia, the venerable Charlie Morton and 3 prospects - Jackson Ferris, Harold Rivas and William Schmidt.
Whew! It's going to be awesome when Gausman gets inexplicably shelled in the playoffs, but at least we'll enjoy his 200+ regular season innings this season.
Gators confirm = I've received many decent offers for Gausman over the past couple of seasons, but my ineptitude in availability in the past few auctions convinced me that I would not be able to build a team around him during his "close to his best". A filler, a close regular, 2 long-term dart throws a pick, and cash was enough of a cornucopia of maybes that I hope something works out, lol.
